Thanks for your comment and I am sorry for the lateness of this reply. Thank you for your tenure at QAD as well. I am sorry to hear about your experience since the acquisition by TB. We merged with TB to create a better company and that has definitely meant a lot of changes. I would recommend you share your concerns with your manager and / or your HR Representative. We would like to better understand some of the specifics so we can be sure to address. Thank you!

Pros

Good learning opportunities- trainings-team building meetings-helpful people Everyone except a few at QAD are willing to help you learn and will provide assistance. You learn so much because you will work so hard and will get your hands into multiple things which will help you in the market later.

Cons

Lowest pay you will ever see. They will continue to pay you entry level even after you work there for several years. The company is filled with incompetent people who have been there for several decades and do the most minimal work. You will continue to be exploited and do more work than any of the seniors for the lowest pay. Every year you will be told that this 2% raise is what you deserve. The company will eventually crush your spirit to learn and just make you complacent. All the old timers are complacent and hence continue to be at the same company. Even after putting the most work you will ever do in your life you WILL NOT GET PROMOTED. You will see kids of high level execs get promoted every year and wont be able to do anything about it. NEPOTISM is deep rooted within the company. Year after year every exec will get promoted but you will stay in the same role even after putting in immense work. Every youngster quits the company because of this reason. You will have a mental breakdown. Every youngster at this company that I started with is no longer there. We cribbed about the same things for several years. Save your effort. If you do have to work here have a 2 year vision.

Thanks for your review and I am sorry to hear you did not have a good experience with QAD. I am not sure that I see the same experience at QAD that you describe in terms of promotions and pay. I have met many people who started at QAD as interns and are working in either senior individual contributor or managerial roles. I do hope you have a better experience in the future in your career.

Pros

Work from home the standard for who it suits. So much change that there is a good chance to progress for those who stick it out.

Cons

Toxic environment. Difficult non team players are tolerated and rewarded if they are good. High pressure to deliver. Average salary. Aging tech stack. Limited training opportunities. Constant change and bad communication from management.

I am sorry to hear of your experience and I wish you a better experience for you in your next career move. We have joined forces with Thoma Bravo, a private equity company that specializes in software companies of our size, so that we can improve our operations, leverage their expertise and ultimately build upon our foundation me create a stronger company in QAD.
