Pros

- Good benefits. - Provided hardware was good. - Friendly team. - Not asked to work extra hours.

Cons

- No transparency from the top. They claim to be transparent and hold events that claim to share information and answer questions, but the important questions are always ignored. - Offices recently shut down with no employee consultation. - Seemly no direction. Projects have no input from the senior team and then get scrapped or redirected without any warning or consultation. Day to day there is very little management of what is being done. - Constant feeling of "Us vs them" where we are kept in the dark. - Feels like profits come before people. - Salary below average. - HR and IT have a slow turn around. - No career opportunities in my country.

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.

Cons

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.
