Pros

Some of the people you work with are cool. Mid-level management was supportive.

Cons

Where to begin. Standard M&A play before the most recent sale was dark. Standard large old school PE play - buy companies not doing well, slash headcount in areas that double efforts to show growth via acquisition - rinse and repeat. Not a company that accepts new product ideas and seem very close minded to how the industry is changing and the way products should keep up with those changes. Working with some of my colleagues was very toxic. Egos aren't checked at the door and you're constantly fighting with colleagues to align on initiatives.

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.
