QAD Reviews

No work life balance at all. Life becomes hell due to overload of work. Highly underresourced projects. Qad relies too much on its managers/business heads. Qad seems to be propagating great values and ethics down the hirearchy . But, there is no process control if any of managers are humiliating the employees. Examples are as follows. 1) People are made to work on weekend s for months in a stretch without any compensation. Nobody else looks at the weekend times entered in time sheet and if compensation is given or not. 2) Boss thereatens the employees unethically and makes them compromise important personal occassions even like honeymoon or family member's death in order to make the employee work all the times. 3) No other people in Qad would question this filthy manager. Not even the heavy attrition is questioned by HR or Sr VPs who are aware of the facts. 4) Employees in the organization are pushed to mental and physical limits . They are Made to work for 13 hours a day with no overtime. 5) No compensation for traveling and personal time spent on the same.

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.
