Pros

Some decent front-line employees still work here, and some of the products are decent.

Kontras

Management is the worst I've ever seen at any company or industry I've ever worked in. The company is falling apart from the inside-out. hey are highly unprofitable, which is amazing for a software company considering the margin on software. The investors that own Quest Software made a bad investment and are now scrambling to cut costs and try to fudge the numbers to make it look like Quest is profitable, but you can only cut costs and fire people to a certain extent, so this strategy is not going to work for long considering the enormous drop in sales after being divested from Dell. The remaining employees are dealing with pay cuts and purposely unattainable quotas. There is no strategy to dig Quest out from the deep hole it is in, management has an outdated mentality and no clue on how to fix the situation that they have created for themselves.

There is a miscategorization of cost reductions following the divestiture from Dell. Staff reductions resulted from two things: the change in organization to accommodate a Go to Market structure focused on business units and the difference between the needs of a 150,000+ employees company versus a much smaller company. Quest is investing in growth through product development. Our results were sufficient to pay a mid year bonus to employees. There have been no pay cuts anywhere in the world - anywhere. I see a very different company than you do. Best of luck in your new role.

Pros

Quest Software is a great place to work. The people are genuinely good people, very knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Quest is a strong environment if you enjoy solving complex technical problems, working with experienced teams, and helping customers address real business and security challenges. The company has a deep portfolio, talented employees, and many opportunities to collaborate across sales, presales, product management, engineering, and customer-facing teams. I also appreciate the flexibility, the trust given to senior employees, and the ability to contribute strategically beyond a narrow job description.

Kontras

Like many large technology organizations, processes can sometimes be complex, and internal alignment across teams may take time. There are also opportunities to improve enablement, communication, and consistency around product packaging, roadmap visibility, and internal workflows.
