Joy of Software Engineering

As a team that is Born To Engineer, we bring passion to work and live each day renewing ourselves. Festive get-togethers, holiday celebrations, sports and socials or just a day out with colleagues and families, helps Questians rejuvenate. Among our most prominent and loved events are Ethnic Days, Women’s Day & Mother’s Day Celebrations, Junior Questians Day, Yoga Day, Sports Days and Pot luck. Apart from these, we also have regular wellness days, health camps and fitness camps to keep our spirits high.  

At QuEST, the extra step taken beyond the call of duty never goes unnoticed. Questians, who make a difference with their passion, dedication and contribution are recognized and appreciated. We have regular ‘On the Fly’ awards given out every month for high performers, Employee of the Quarter (EOQ) given to employees for delivering business impact, Annual Performance Awards given for technical and operational excellence under various categories and nominated employees are also recognized under the quarterly CEO appreciation program. 

Gazelles is a leadership forum that helps build stronger connect between the leadership and extended management teams, improves communication, accountability, and build capability of leaders across levels. This innovative practice has contributed significantly to the organization growth, and has aligned leaders to the QuEST culture. This forum is aimed at reviewing organization challenges, align communication channels, build connect, and support growth for the organization. The key themes for each Gazelles were provided by the leadership with the expectation that the group would find a solution with an apt execution plan and act on it to solve the given challenges. 

By the people – For the people: While we have a dedicated team of HR personnel, we also have ‘HR Advisors’ – a team of employees representing their respective delivery units/functions. This team helps to understand the pulse of the people at QuEST, by acknowledging their feedbacks on various initiatives and policies. Always striving to make QuEST a great place to work, this team helps create people-centric policies and presents their views to the management.

At QuEST, we encourage employees to dedicate their free time for a noble cause. Through multiple initiatives we help them find a gamut of volunteering activities, such as

• Skills for Good: Donate your skills to NGOs in need
• Train for Good: From training on Digital Literacy to sensitization of misinformation, help to empower people
• Social Media for Good: Make social media work for its intended purpose - spread the goodness!
• Work for Good: Help NGOs with basic tasks from painting a wall to making masks.
• Mentor for Good: Help provide guidance to college students, innovators and NGOs
• Advocacy for Good: Help point out policy level changes and work towards their sensitization

At QuEST three foundational principles drives us as an organization- Aspiration to think big, the Hunger to build a learning culture and empower decision making, coupled with ‘roll up your sleeves’, and get things done with humility to accept and learn from failures and respect people. These three when adopted and practiced regularly will lead an organization to greatness. Our core values like Customer Focus, Collaboration, and Integrity along with our culture pillars Think Big Act Small, Innovation, Agility, Care for People, Open and Transparent, Continuous Learning, referred as the key elements of the House of QuEST, guide us in decision making, strategizing, executing and achieving each milestone.
