Working at Quest Software in Aliso Viejo, CA: 14 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Aliso Viejo, CA Area

"I’ve worked for Quest software for over 10 years and found it to be a great company to work for. Great benefits and work/life balance have made my time here very enjoyable. And not enough good things can be said about my co-workers. A very knowledgeable and hard working bunch that work very well together."

"Quest was a great company that has been pressured into outsourcing."

"I worked for Quest Software since May 2005. I joined the company as a junior designer and was promoted to a senior designer within a year. In 2012 we were purchased by Michael Dell and our software company became part of Dell.com. In 2016, we were sold to Francisco Partners, an American private equity firm focused exclusively on investments in technology and technology-enabled services. I was very happy working at Quest and felt the job life balance was great and there was room for getting promoted and learning new technology. In the past year of my job, I felt that the company was only focused on making money and kept cutting costs within operations to save money. Our company went through many layoffs and ultimately my design team was cut in California to save money and move operations to Ohio."

"Overall, I had a good experience working at Quest Software for the last 5 years. I transitioned from being a UI developer to a UI/UX designer and the team supported me to make the move within the company. It has a flexible work environment in terms of working hours since most of the employees are remote. However, things have become hectic since the acquisition. The company went through many lay-offs and started to downsize tremendously."

"It was a good company before they were bought by Investors"

There were not many opportunities for advancement in my division, but overall it was a great place to work."
