Pros

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.

Pros

Co-workers are friendly, smart, supportive, and hard-working.

Cons

When Thoma Bravo bought QAD in November 2021, the management relentlessly promoted the acquisition at every meeting. "It is a new chapter in the QAD history", "Good things are coming", and blah blah. The only changes I saw were ruthless offshoring and endless layoffs.

Thanks for your comments. Yes we were acquired by Thoma Bravo and they have helped us considerably in improving QAD as a whole. That has meant that we have needed to change our structure and geographic make up. However, the US continues to be our largest population base and we do continue to employee many people and hire for new positions.
