Potential Questions to Ask if and When Changing Jobs What do you like best about working at the company? Are there any awesome perks or special treats for employees? Every business has it's own culture and way of doing things - what is the office... —  read more 

Look at how Jeff (and his minions) have run other companies and you see the pattern. Sell off any tangible assets (ie buildings) under the "we're not a real estate company". Drastically cut people on day 1 (he cut close to 1/3 of Quest) to... —  read more 

In case anybody cares, there were more layoffs at Quest yesterday. Is it just me, or has this company lost even the semblance of job security?

Not hearing anything in the news or anywhere? What's the current situation? Was the split from Dell really the last straw?

There are rumours. How many survived this time ?

What’s that going to do for Quest ? How many times have they tried sharepoint now and failed ? So funny.

Any details of layoffs across the Americas / EMEA / APAC ?

I heard that some people are being let go this month in the US ? Can anyone confirm ? Or is it just natural attrition.

Anyone left ?

has anyone been looking at the reviews about Quest on glassdoor ? Amusing. Every time someone comes up with a seemingly honest (albeit negative) experience of the "new" Quest, it gets shot down by Lu-Ann their HR damage control specialist. I think it... —  read more 

As a partner, its interesting watching these threads, Who manages the partners now ? I heard that some of the management were let go ?

I hear from a reliable source in the Cork office that Netvault may be close to reaching a non viable position. Margins on this product have struggled for some time now and I understand a decision is close to stop developing it further which has... —  read more

I've been hearing about more layoffs coming to Quest sometime in the next two months. Anybody here has any more info on it? I'm kind of hoping that it's just an overblown office speculation that somehow turned into a "fact," but knowing Quest more... —  read more 

Quest/DSG is but a distant memory now. How are the various BUs doing? I noticed that KACE seems to have had an overhaul - can it now compete with the big boys? What about the DP portfolio - is the DR still on Dell OEM? Has the team managed to find... —  read more 

DSG was dead on arrive all. Michael Dell & John Swainson (and his crack team if a-- kissers) killed it. These PE dic---ads think they can revive the damned thing, but it’s too late. Good money after bad. —  read more 

After seeing the numbers at the all hands meeting, it can only be a matter of time. Booking shortfalls north of $200 million. Fudging numbers so that the execs can take home their fat bonuses before the entire house of cards collapses on itself. Many... —  read more

... there's a strange echo in the Quest offices... anybody out there???

Was fired from Quest 1 year ago this week and thank goodness for that. Took 6 mo off, was recruited by good friends to join a progressive company and I'm now havin' a great time. If you're still with Quest, take heart. You're good enough, you're... —  read more

Well according to the CEO, he has been surprised at the amount of voluntary attrition (people quitting) that has happened since he took the helm. Maybe more layoffs won't be needed but as a friendly reminder, will the last person out the door turn... —  read more 

They are posting quite a few attractive offers in my country... but from what I have been reading on this site, this company doesn't really have a future then? Better stay away from it?

Remember that Quest is now owned by "vulture" capitalists. They got sold a bill of goods from Dell and once they realized it, they changed the strategy from "try to grow a software company" to "try to save what we can". This led to the company being... —  read more 

Shortly after I joined the my team it became clear to me that Dell was about to sell Quest.... Noone had indicated or disclosed that during the interview process as I was joining the company. There was a lot of unknown things hanging up in the air... —  read more 

across the board

would be good to layoff more folks.

QUEST SW will have layoffs. Company needs to shrink by 30 to 40%

Anyhow the clock is ticking .... only way to achieve targets is to keep cutting support staff.

Look like together with STATISTICA the first piece to be going.

So Dell folks got 125% bonus, any idea why for Quest it was lower ? also, I've heard is EBITDA target is missed by more than 10% there will be no payout next year ? Anyone has a clue how big this target is ? —  read more
