New product qualifications
Nobody has been told or even hinted to that sharing there new 'qualification' will be a good career move. There is also no plans to update all tool demonstration videos and supply direct to channel partners.
Dont buy Quest software. Dont buy One Identity. Dont fund evil.
Blood on hands. Awful software. Partners look somewhere else. Customers too. Zero care for staff. Rewarding awful people. If you still work for Quest be ashamed. If you hire ex-Quest do not hire anyone who left after April. Anyone still at Quest... — read more

Attrition and layoffs has wiped out most of the experts
The last mass attrition that happened when Quest acquired Onelogin, almost wiped out most of the experts that had the system knowledge and we started lagging terribly from out competitions in terms of the features. Other than just putting off the... — read more

What are your best NXT reflections
Full swing on from budget food to mediocre entertainment or a fact of carbon footprint on wasteful event spending instead of retaining top talent
Delete WhatsApp
Bumped into a pal in the lounge. He's competition and off to his SKO in Orlando. Warned about using WhatsApp on company paid phones or on company laptops. Quest owns em and so can request to see whats in them. Sounds hinky but would not put it past... — read more
Are there more layoffs coming tomorrow 2/22/24?
Happened last year just prior to SKO so probably a good chance it happens again this year.
Were wellbeing sessions used to trim heads?
Was talking to a buddy this morning about the game and he pointed out that between the last big cut and this one that many of the people that were cut attended the wellbeing sessions. I spoke to someone else and they also attended.Teams meant no... — read more
Time to go Patrick
Patrick, you say you are a data driven decision maker and ignore emotion or intuition. How much more data do you need to admit you have failed? From your initial hiring choices through to the situation you have created now. Accept the data and do the... — read more
The Impact of cuts on Effective working teams (OI)
One of our top team members, with several years of multi-domain experience, was abruptly terminated without any reasonable cause. There was no opportunity for knowledge transfer, no time for a proper farewell. We have hit a new low. Why would anyone... — read more
OI announcement coming soon.
OI is being separated from Quest again. All of a sudden the rush to separate them back into their own. Patrick has been on a rampage making all the wrong business decisions trying to sell this off. Needed to upset the lives of all their employees... — read more
Back on the Merry Go Round
Well it's that time of year and the word is more cost saving targets to meet with the subsequent headcount reductions that follow. Watch this space.
Months later, I'm still looking for a job
This is not normal. I've depleted my savings and I don't know what to do anymore. I'd take anything at this point but I'm simply getting no offers. What am I doing wrong? I've sent out over a thousand applications in the last three months. I've had... — read more
SKO no more
Bad sport metaphors and EBITDA and no arrests barely
SKO bull
Canning folk the week before SKO is a good idea? Ya think?
What is the probability that there will be cuts this Q1?
It feels like job security becomes more and more uncertain as time goes on. Have you heard any interesting rumors recently?
Things are looking bleak
It's just a matter of time before we have major cuts. I've started looking already to see how things are looking out there and prepare myself for every eventuality, and I can say that the situation is less than stellar. I can't find any good remote... — read more
We need leaders
We have too many bosses who like to call themselves leaders but their actions speak otherwise. We need people who are willing to take risks to ensure a better future for the company and not those who are more than happy with the status quo and who... — read more
To Many Naive Employees At Honeywell
Amazing the number of posts and comments from employees who are claim the vaccination does not work. Reality is that COVID 19 keeps mutating because of the unvaccinated. This is the cause of the breakthrough cases. Yet most use this as an excuse... — read more
Will there be cuts by the end of the year?
I hope there won’t be "Christmas cuts", but I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Anyone has any insights?
Anybody knows the financial terms of the Clearlake acquision?
Curious for how much Quest was acquired?
Salty dogs barking don’t keep me up at night.
No company is perfect. I’ve seen a lot of good people get let go, and that’s a shame. I’ve also heard from our customers the silly things our exes say when hawking their cut rate wares. How many posters here I wonder are fuchsia knights?… — read more
Cuts before the end of September
Is it true something is coming?
Everybody is leaving Quest
All the talented people I know LEFT. This is a sh-t show now. Good place only for lazy people. Company is doing aggresive tactics to sell it. Good WLB though
Useless european management team
The european sales management team is useless, too busy sitting on their elbows and being di-ks for the sake of it. Cant complain, the amount of times its been covered up only to see them promoted. If you're not a favorite, you might as well work in... — read more
Those who are not laid off are leaving on their own
I just wonder where this kind of company management leads? All those who are worth anything are either cut or have left. What will be left of this company?
Does Quest have the capacity to launch a new good product?
momentum for new products evaporated years ago I think that almost no one believes that Quest can be close to what it used to be, but still... I still believe that the company can launch a new good product. Or is there really no hope for that? — read more
More layoffs at Quest this month?
Has anybody else heard rumors that more layoffs are coming this month?
