Quest Software Inc. Layoffs

EoY Performance??

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 arrival

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.

Only a matter of time....

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

First death bell rings for Data Protection

Exiting the DP hardware and KACE appliances and ceasing production and sales. Putting all their DP money on a software-based storage system.

One Identity - Here we go

One Identity remains firmly on track to be the 1st major Elliot partnership disposal. The acquisition of Balabit is considered a key marker to investors of the product's potential for further development and growth. Further to this the UK management... read more

HELLO... hello... hello...

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

Incoming changes

My sources indicate Micro Focus may be lining up some offer for the data protection business. Netvault may be further spun out itself as the product has little shelf life left but some creative accounting may come to the rescue. Rapid Recovery with... read more

If anything the investment is paying-off, if they can refinance at better rates ....

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171128005755/en/Francisco-Partners-Completes-2-Billion-Debt-Refinancing

Oh finally they shake the top ... or is that "miscategorization ?"

So Data Protection seem to have a first reality check, who is going next ?

Any cake for laying off Quest folks?

What if I told you that you are a lie and the cake isn't!?

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

Glassdoor ...

I find it funny the amount of recent and negative reviews Quest is getting on Glassdoor ... especially once you see the CHRO (!) answering to most of them with a broken disk "...and please contact me by email to discuss matter in more details" ... read more

"Voluntary Attrition" instead of layoffs

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

New positions being opened overseas

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?

More layoffs at Quest Software are a certainty

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

There is no job security at Quest

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

layoffs today

across the board

Any more layoff at QUEST and KACE?

would be good to layoff more folks.

Microsoft said to be planning sales force overhaul; layoffs likely http://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft/microsoft-said-to-be-planning-

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

Quest SW /KACE AppAssure has removed all of the reqs- Are there any layoffs?

Wondering how many leaving post Club

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

KACE ON SALE ....

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

Bonus Payout

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 ?

Cayman based doesn't make a huge difference ...

What a sorry state Quest ... https://www.moodys.com/credit-ratings/Seahawk-Holding-Cayman-Ltd-credit-rating-825181692 $1.3Bn of debts to repay ... for the ones on bonus plan, we shall not count on it really.

Is Quest even alive or all of them fired? Won't be long as competitors take over the market share.

Seeing job postings for Quest lately in Round Rock- Either they are firing folks or folks knows Quest is not the future .

Networking software maker Citrix seeks buyers: sources https://finance.yahoo.com/news/networking-software-maker-citrix-seeks-021318132.html

Are you next Quest

Tech layoffs surged in 2016, and 2017 doesn't look much brighter http://www.bizjournals.com/bizjournals/news/2017/02/17/tech-layoffs-surged-in-2

It's Friday , keeping up with Dell Tradition, layoff this week ? No point in planning for the future anymore

Not in Labor Force (LNU05000000) https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU05000000

Foglight / Win Server Management Group

More cuts to Foglight is what was rumored . Also, any news on Win Server Management Group ?

Quest cuts more employees

First day of the new fiscal year and quests' clueless leaders will go forward by cutting 1/3rd of their company ... time to make the investors happy ... one quarter of no direction and weak leadership and they think the experienced sales makers are... read more

PAUL SINGER'S ELLIOTT: 'There is a deep underlying complacency which we think permeates global financial markets'http://www.businessinsider.com/

How y'all doing under the new management?

CHAOS

Day 1 may very well be Day Last for a lot of folks

Well after 4 years under the "leadership" of Swainson and his CA lackeys, the writing on the wall is pretty clear. He succeeded in turning 5 billion in acquisitions into a 2 billion dollar org what Dell now wants nothing to do with. If you think... read more
