Pros

The people are the best part of the company and really take ownership for their part of the business. Most people are easy to work with and are cooperative in efforts. Work/life balance is good in most roles. The benefits are somewhat competitive in the US.

Cons

The workforce reductions have become an almost quarterly occurrence and they go deep and wide. Company employee count is no longer published because it would shock current employees to see how fast it's reducing. The current C-suite executives have accelerated the reductions and outsourcing to the point where it's basically a skeleton crew maintaining most systems and products. The corporate culture is severely lacking despite best efforts of HR to try and keep remaining employees happy. Opportunities for career advancement are no longer there. With the regular WFR's come more responsibilities for those remaining, but there are few to no opportunities for promotion. Merit raises were suspended in 2020 so salaries are no longer current with inflation.

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.
