Pluspunten

Many of the people are great to work with, very conscientious, and want to do a good job. It's a global company, so if you're interested in working with people from different countries, that part is very interesting. This applies to both internal QAD employees who are located around the globe, and the customer base. I really liked that part of it. You're expected to be proactive and a self-starter. This was a big pro for me. Also, most roles are telecommute, so you often just create your own schedule. There is definitely autonomy, so if you're a person who needs his/her hand held, this probably isn't the place for you.

Minpunten

Executive/senior management seemed to do a very poor job in selecting senior managers. My manager was seriously lacking any semblance of management skills. I can't believe the person had ever managed a team before. Very disappointing. One of the cons of being a global company is that there will be times, depending on your role, where you will have off hours meetings. This could be internal or customer-facing. So, based on your role, be prepared to be available at different hours that may be inconvenient at times. There were some people in roles that made the same mistakes over and over and even after this was brought up the chain of command, no changes in process or personnel were made. Also, very disappointing.

Pluspunten

Amazing welcoming and supportive culture, very respectful of work-life balance. Great place to learn and grow.

Minpunten

Very fast paced, you own your performance. Not recommended for someone who wants to "take it easy" or "coast"

We are thrilled that you’ve found a supportive environment here that balances professional growth with a respect for personal time. Your perspective on "owning your performance" is spot on, and we appreciate you helping us set the bar for excellence in Brownsville. We look forward to many more successful years together!

Pluspunten

It was a genuinely great company to work for prior to 2025. Excellent experience working here during the transition stage from On-Premise to Cloud under the previous leadership (Anton). The core QAD ERP is a complex, valuable software that was making solid progress toward a SaaS model before the recent shifts.

Minpunten

Drastic Culture Shift: The workplace became instantly toxic when the new CEO (Sanjay) took over. His first all-hands call explicitly stated the company was doing poorly, setting a deeply demotivating tone. Subsequent calls have been filled with mean-spirited treatment toward employees. Mass Layoffs & Outsourcing: The company let go of highly experienced resources—the backbone of QAD—in the AMER and EMEA regions. They completely outsourced critical Cloud Operations (which maintains the core infrastructure) to a vendor in India that has zero knowledge of QAD. Severe Micromanagement: Because the new outsourced team lacks domain knowledge, there is intense micromanagement, and leaders are now expected to be available 24/7 to compensate. Misguided Strategy: The new leadership immediately scrapped ongoing developments to focus entirely on customer support. There is no job security left in the AMER and EMEA regions. Misleading PR: Don't believe the social media hype or paid articles. The heavily boasted AI integration is actually a tool developed by Redzone, and despite a "great launch" in November 2025, nothing has actually gone live yet.
