QAD Software Developer reviews

Thank you for your more than three years of service with our engineering team in Santa Barbara. We are glad to hear that you valued your colleagues and the environment we previously maintained. We sincerely regret the frustration and concern caused by our recent organizational changes and shifts in our global staffing model. Decisions involving layoffs and the outsourcing of departments are incredibly difficult and are driven by a need to adapt our operational structure to a changing global market. We understand that these transitions impact morale and the sense of community that defined QAD for many years. We appreciate the contributions you made during your tenure and wish you the very best in your next role.

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.
