QAD reviews

It's a sinking ship. Don't let the marketing hype fool you. The leadership has had near total turnover in the last 2.5 years. If the company hits the PE owners' EBITDA target (though unlikely anytime soon) - you'll see another exodus as many of the execs and senior leaders cash in as they've been incentivized with 'shares' based on hitting aggressive profitability targets to the point the PE owners get their ROI and sell the company off. Massive numbers of highly talented people have been laid off to cut costs (especially in the US), Operations were closed in multiple countries. Layoffs continue like clockwork each quarter-end. QAD used to be very good at many things but has become an expert at letting people go. In reality this is exactly the path communicated when QAD sold off to private equity. It's sad and no longer the company so many employees and customers knew.

I recently worked at QAD, and my experience was far from what I expected from a reputable company. While QAD offers competitive compensation and some talented employees, the overwhelming nepotism within the organization casts a dark shadow over the workplace environment and seriously undermines morale. One of the most frustrating aspects of QAD is the blatant favoritism that exists for employees who are related to certain key individuals within the company. There seems to be an entire family working at QAD, with the family matriarch bringing in significant revenue for the company. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a situation where the rules and policies that apply to the rest of us are seemingly bent or ignored when it comes to this family. This nepotism problem not only erodes trust and fairness within the organization but also makes it clear that there is a distinct lack of accountability for some employees. For those of us who are not part of the favored family, it's incredibly demoralizing to see others getting away with questionable behaviors or poor performance without facing consequences. In a professional environment, it's essential that all employees are held to the same standards, and no one should be above the rules. The nepotism at QAD seriously compromises this fundamental principle, making it difficult to maintain a positive and productive workplace. It's disheartening to witness how such an issue can undermine team morale, discourage hard work, and breed a sense of unfairness among the staff. While QAD has some positive aspects, the rampant nepotism within the company seriously hampers its potential as a desirable place to work. If you value fairness, accountability, and a positive work environment, you may want to think twice before considering a career at QAD. The company must address these issues to create a more equitable and harmonious workplace for all its employees.
