Life at Quest Defense
CSR #SmileEngineering
In our endeavor to support education, we have initiated many steady programs and projects that cater to students of our adopted schools. Our CSR philosophy of Engineering Positive Change through Education is employee driven. Likewise, our employees indulge in CSR initiatives that make a difference to the community.
Rewards & Recognition
The extra step taken beyond and above the call of duty hardly goes unnoticed. Questians who make a difference with their passion, dedication and contribution are recognized and appreciated ceremoniously. We believe that a pat on the back does more than a motivational speech.
Fun at Work
While passion plays an important role at work, we also indulge in activities that help us relax and recharge. Festive get-togethers, holiday celebrations, sports & socials or just a day out with colleagues and families, Questians participate in fun and rejuvenating exercises.
