Pros

Anything positive left the company when Quest separated from Dell and management jettisoned everything the teams had built towards to that point.

Cons

Front line sales management in Round Rock is terrible. They treat their sales people like children, do not give them tools to succeed, cut their pay, slash their commission structure, do nothing to their update products and then wonder why their top sales people are leaving in droves. But, if you thought front line management was bad, just wait until you meet upper management. Short sighted decisions based on an ever changing strategy and a completely absent CEO who seems like he wanted to wash his hands of the company the moment he got the job. If you want to work on a sinking ship - Quest is for you!

Pros

The new ELT has been making a lot of changes to shift Quest to newer products, focus, and GTM strategies. This has been much needed, and the future looks much brighter. Regardless of the changes, the culture of respect and inclusivity and people-support has remained. I would refer Quest as an employer, especially the Legal department, to anyone I know.

Cons

As with any period of changes and redirected focus, there has been some turmoil in reductions, tool/platform changes, etc. This would be a tough environment for anyone who has trouble adapting.
