Pros

The original QAD people, hands down. There are genuinely smart, supportive coworkers who make the day-to-day tolerable. You’ll meet some great humans and probably form trauma bonds that turn into real friendships. Also, if you like learning how to adapt quickly, you’ll definitely build resilience here (whether you wanted to or not).

Cons

Where do I start. Since the new leadership came in, the company has declined at an impressive speed. Roles are changed or downgraded without warning, expectations are unclear (and constantly shifting), and support/training is basically nonexistent. Communication from leadership is minimal, and decisions often feel disconnected from reality. Morale is low, turnover is high, and the overall culture has shifted from collaborative to survival mode. It’s frustrating watching what used to be a solid company unravel this quickly.

Thank you for sharing your feedback from your 10 years with QAD. We deeply value the perspective of our long-tenured employees and are grateful for your many contributions to the company. We appreciate your recognition of the strong, collegial culture that has been a cornerstone of our company. Maintaining that sense of connection and teamwork is something we remain committed to, even as our work models evolve. We hear your concerns and understand that our shift to a primarily remote model has changed the way we interact, which we know can be a difficult adjustment. We also want to acknowledge that periods of organizational change are challenging and create significant uncertainty. We take the impact of these transitions very seriously. We are committed to navigating this evolution as thoughtfully and transparently as possible, with a focus on supporting our team members. Thank you again for your candor and your long-standing service to QAD.
