Nepotism and Morale Issues at QAD

Pros

remote work offered to most employees

Cons

I recently worked at QAD, and my experience was far from what I expected from a reputable company. While QAD offers competitive compensation and some talented employees, the overwhelming nepotism within the organization casts a dark shadow over the workplace environment and seriously undermines morale. One of the most frustrating aspects of QAD is the blatant favoritism that exists for employees who are related to certain key individuals within the company. There seems to be an entire family working at QAD, with the family matriarch bringing in significant revenue for the company. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a situation where the rules and policies that apply to the rest of us are seemingly bent or ignored when it comes to this family. This nepotism problem not only erodes trust and fairness within the organization but also makes it clear that there is a distinct lack of accountability for some employees. For those of us who are not part of the favored family, it's incredibly demoralizing to see others getting away with questionable behaviors or poor performance without facing consequences. In a professional environment, it's essential that all employees are held to the same standards, and no one should be above the rules. The nepotism at QAD seriously compromises this fundamental principle, making it difficult to maintain a positive and productive workplace. It's disheartening to witness how such an issue can undermine team morale, discourage hard work, and breed a sense of unfairness among the staff. While QAD has some positive aspects, the rampant nepotism within the company seriously hampers its potential as a desirable place to work. If you value fairness, accountability, and a positive work environment, you may want to think twice before considering a career at QAD. The company must address these issues to create a more equitable and harmonious workplace for all its employees.

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.
