Pros

Couple of solid products inherited from Dell, that's it.

Cons

It's like monkeys with a smartphone after Dell divestiture. Mgmt don't have big picture for the company but just numbers tied for the quarter. Some of the best performing software solutions are in shambles now after the divestiture.

Thanks for your comments about Quest. It's always good to recognize other perspectives and it sounds like some of your personal experiences are reflected in your comments. One point that I'd like to address here: in the last twelve months, Quest has done both market specific targeted increases to ensure that our employees are paid at market value as well as a general compensation review with a generous merit budget. We've also established a company wide bonus plan that shares Quest's success with employees which recently made a solid mid year payout. We will continue to invest in compensation until the inequities that resulted from prior ownership are repaired. Given that it's only been one year since the divestiture, I think Quest has made significant efforts in this area. Good luck in your new role LuAnn CHRO

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.
