Pros

Great people to work with. Bright, talented, genuine good people. Good pay. Good benefits. Great managers and Dev managers. Hours and vacation are great. Offices and locations are great. Positions are great building awesome products. BTW, my rating would be a 5 star, with proper leaders.

Cons

Senior leadership! This leadership team cares more about social justice issues than it does about it's employees and growing the business Ultra micro managing senior leaders in my BU. CEO gets asks hard relevant questions, and answers with “Let me tell you what they meant to ask” and then proceeds to say whatever he wants except addressing the question. No confidence in Patrick. Leadership team talks about becoming a growth company, promises will do the right things for the business, so they layed off employees, didn’t revise any schedules, and then proceeded to hire 3 CxO level people that they worked with elsewhere. Growth to this leadership team means closing offices, restricting travel and saying “Look at the OPEX savings, aren’t we awesome!”

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.
