      Review Title: A Great Company Until 2025 – Now a Sinking Ship Under New Leadership

      Principal architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It was a genuinely great company to work for prior to 2025. Excellent experience working here during the transition stage from On-Premise to Cloud under the previous leadership (Anton). The core QAD ERP is a complex, valuable software that was making solid progress toward a SaaS model before the recent shifts.

      Cons

      Drastic Culture Shift: The workplace became instantly toxic when the new CEO (Sanjay) took over. His first all-hands call explicitly stated the company was doing poorly, setting a deeply demotivating tone. Subsequent calls have been filled with mean-spirited treatment toward employees. Mass Layoffs & Outsourcing: The company let go of highly experienced resources—the backbone of QAD—in the AMER and EMEA regions. They completely outsourced critical Cloud Operations (which maintains the core infrastructure) to a vendor in India that has zero knowledge of QAD. Severe Micromanagement: Because the new outsourced team lacks domain knowledge, there is intense micromanagement, and leaders are now expected to be available 24/7 to compensate. Misguided Strategy: The new leadership immediately scrapped ongoing developments to focus entirely on customer support. There is no job security left in the AMER and EMEA regions. Misleading PR: Don't believe the social media hype or paid articles. The heavily boasted AI integration is actually a tool developed by Redzone, and despite a "great launch" in November 2025, nothing has actually gone live yet.

      QAD is Slave employer

      Pros

      Nothing. None to say as of 2025

      Cons

      The CEO, Sanjay, treats employees like slaves. He forces them to work 24/7, and once the job is done, there’s no praise or recognition—instead, he fires them. This guy lays off the very people who built the product. We were dependent on those experts, and now we’re not sure how we’ll move forward. He’s trying to loot the hard-earned company, ignoring its future while filling his own bank account with company money.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take reviews like this seriously, as they highlight the intensity of the environment during this phase of our company’s evolution. We acknowledge that QAD is currently navigating a critical period of rapid transformation. Our shift from "Reactive Firefighting" to "Proactive Execution" —including major initiatives like "Operation Bug Kill" and our aggressive integration of AI across our specific segments —has understandably created a demanding pace. Our leadership’s goal, including Sanjay’s, is to modernize the business and transition fully to Cloud/SaaS to ensure QAD’s long-term viability and success. While this requires difficult structural decisions to ensure we have the right skills for the future, we deeply value the contributions of the experts who built our foundation. We do not condone a culture of burnout, and our aim is to move toward a model of working "smarter" rather than just harder. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your workload concerns specifically. Please consider reaching out to HR directly or utilizing our internal feedback channels so we can address these pain points constructively.
