Pros

There are some pros for working here, but they're pretty basic/generic. -Work/Life Balance -Benefits -401K Option -Vacation/PBA Offerings -Colleagues

Cons

Lack of merit increases and poor bonuses for lower-salaried employees. The wage gap for women and the unapproachable HR team due to the buddy-system with management. No opportunities for growth within for deserving applicants. Accomplishments, dedication, and hard work go unrecognized. Paid "kick-off" (vacations) for sales teams and massive layoffs and workforce reductions to employees who generate and keep revenue in other departments. I really wish there wasn't a need to focus solely on the "bottom line" with current ownership and that the executive leadership team was focused on continuing with the legacy that was once Quest Software.

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.
