I’ve been with QAD for a year now, and overall, it has been a positive and rewarding experience. The onboarding process was smooth, and the team was very supportive in helping me get up to speed. The work culture is collaborative, and people are approachable and willing to help when needed.
One of the things I appreciate most is the emphasis on learning and growth. There are opportunities to build new skills and take on responsibilities that help you develop professionally. The work environment is flexible, and there is a good balance between independence and teamwork.
Cons
Limited clarity around bonuses and festival benefits

Thank you for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that you’ve had a positive first year and that our collaborative culture and focus on professional growth have been impactful for you. We also appreciate your feedback regarding transparency around benefits and perks; we are always looking for ways to improve our communication and will share your comments with the relevant teams. We’re glad to have you with us!
QAD was a wonderful place to work with lots of benefits prior to the COVID shutdown. My team was great to work with and we still keep in touch. The managers that I worked with are straight forward with an open door policy. I rarely had trouble getting an answer when needed. I felt supported.
Cons
Since they have been bought by an Equity Firm (Tomo Bravo) they have been slashing all the CA (and others) positions and placing them in MX, India, and Poland. All for the EBITA. It's not the "family" environment any longer. Good Luck!

Thank you for working for QAD for 20+ years and for your help in making QAD what it is today. I am sorry to hear you are no longer at QAD and if your role was impacted in the past year. We have evolved and changed. We have put a lot of focus into virtual engagement and communications since COVID and since we moved our work style to virtual first. And this is certainly a transition from working directly in an office. I believe that open door policy is still there. Since the merger with Thoma Bravo we have honed in on some specific measurements such as EBITDA to measure growth and how well we are operating overall as a company. The intended outcome is the improvement of QAD and our ability to deliver value to our clients. We wish you well in your next career endeavor.
