Pros

Helping colleagues - Most colleagues are really helpful and leave their own own to help you at times, Helping IT department - IT people resolve your issues promptly, Employee Awards - This is a good conduct, as it helps to boost employees' confidence, however they must make sure it does not cause unnecessary politics, global exposure.

Cons

1. Training is inconsistent and irrelevant - It seems they do not focus much on training standards as they are not raising permanent employees but just temporary employees. One needs to try and learn things on their own. 2. High attrition rate - I have literally seen way more people leaving the company than new employees joining. And the company doesn't seem to be bothered on this fact. 3. Need to work under pressure and odd hours - Even though they say it's flexi 9 hour shift, one cannot complete their work in these 9 hours. Also, since the base office is in USA, employees need to adjust work timings with respect to USA at times. They should consider over time and try not to keep meetings at odd hours. There should be extra pay for over time. Most employees here work under great pressure as TL's and Managers try to cover up by putting the pressure on the employees. 4. Politics - Even though the HR and managers say we have an excellent working environment, there is quite some politics when it comes to appraisals and promotion. Most TL's and managers judge you a lot on your personal skills rather than on your working skills. 5. Poor HR - The HR here are hypocrites. They say something, but they mean something else. I observed very less clarity on the employee policies when I joined here, the HR was not very clear about the job. 6. Bad quality food - QAD provides with a free meal (Lunch/Dinner) and paid snacks. The quality of the food is pathetic. The location of the office is such that employees don't even get much option to buy good quality food from outside. 7. No respect for juniors - I have seen weird judgement while allocating work to juniors by senior members. Though not all seniors have such prejudice, but some have a very high ego and it is difficult working with them.

Pros

- Good for Indian and the executive team. - Remote work for some location.

Cons

- Laying off too many long-time staff with high knowledge just to use a service from Indian outsourcing company who fail to understand how to do the job properly and barely anyone being proactive. For what? just for cost reduction and to please Indian? Well, you got what you pay for. - Company think that knowledge transfer from a long-time employee can be done within less than 6 months already proved that whoever make this decision doesn't care about the consequence of their action. - QAD become a company that doesn't value a high-performance and a loyal, long-time employee. Instead, it focuses only on EBITDA and to please Indian.

Pros

- Time management - Work from home - Great medical care (so far)

Cons

- People ressources (previsouly know as Human Rssources) team is not caring about employee wellness and do all they can to reduce any benfits - you cannot TRUST what they say. - No increase year on year of benefits / advantages at the opposit all is made to reduce them - The company is not considering employee as an asset but as a cost only . - Total lack of disrecpect of DEI - even if they say otherwise.

Thank you for your review, and we're glad that you enjoy working from home giving you the ability to manage your time well and your medical benefits are great. I'm sorry to hear that your experience has not been as positive as it should be from your perspective. I would encourage you to have a conversation with your supervisor and the People Partner (HR Manager) in France to help them understand your perspective. We would especially want to learn of the specifics related to DEI so we can improve your experience. We work to set up collaborative spaces to enable teams to be able to bring their whole self to work and share with one another where each member is valued.
