Pros

The people I worked with are amazing.

Cons

Most management is terrible. Micro-managing is very popular. They don't listen to their employees or their ideas. You are truly just a person in a seat there. Extremely underpaid compared to other tech companies. You will work very hard as an ISR making very little base while your outside guy adds hardly any value and makes 6 figures. Commission structure is horrendous. A new slick office won't make up for the internal issues of the company and its structure.

Without more specifics about your (former) location, I can't respond in much detail. I will say that none of this represents Quest and our pay practices.

Pros

There were good times right when we split from Dell software group. I’m having a hard time writing anything good. What made me come to work everyday was a paycheck and my co workers. We did sell good product, the competitors have taken our lunch. We need to reinvent.

Cons

Honestly there is too much to write here that this review could be a short thesis. First the management here is non existent from first line managers to higher up directors/vp’s. The managers on the UEM/DP were all promoted on the buddy system or they achieved great sales to be promoted aka got lucky when it was the good days. I’ve seen good people turn into horrible people they way top down director dictates. They have redefined micromanaging to a new level. Changes happen too often within territories. They say it’s because we are a small company and we are agile....no poor leadership and lack of experience. Pay wow this is the worst. My total OTE is what many Austin companies pay almost as BASE SALARY! They will flat out lie to you during negotiations, I made the mistake please don’t follow me. I don’t see this company getting any better than it is. The reviews on here raving 5/5 are comical. If you read this far I applaud you reading an honest review and trust me when I say this. Do not go here.

Pros

People are amazing - but the good ones are being replaced by Attachmate & Micro Focus cronies.

Cons

Private Equity model and Executive Leadership are not interested in employee development and careers - it's 100% EBITDA focused. Not a good balance between, customer, employee, and stakeholder goals.
