Pros

Good opportunities to learn and gain knowledge. Other teams than india services seem to have satisfied employees.

Cons

No work life balance at all. Life becomes hell due to overload of work. Highly underresourced projects. Qad relies too much on its managers/business heads. Qad seems to be propagating great values and ethics down the hirearchy . But, there is no process control if any of managers are humiliating the employees. Examples are as follows. 1) People are made to work on weekend s for months in a stretch without any compensation. Nobody else looks at the weekend times entered in time sheet and if compensation is given or not. 2) Boss thereatens the employees unethically and makes them compromise important personal occassions even like honeymoon or family member's death in order to make the employee work all the times. 3) No other people in Qad would question this filthy manager. Not even the heavy attrition is questioned by HR or Sr VPs who are aware of the facts. 4) Employees in the organization are pushed to mental and physical limits . They are Made to work for 13 hours a day with no overtime. 5) No compensation for traveling and personal time spent on the same.

QAD is Slave employer

Pros

Nothing. None to say as of 2025

Cons

The CEO, Sanjay, treats employees like slaves. He forces them to work 24/7, and once the job is done, there’s no praise or recognition—instead, he fires them. This guy lays off the very people who built the product. We were dependent on those experts, and now we’re not sure how we’ll move forward. He’s trying to loot the hard-earned company, ignoring its future while filling his own bank account with company money.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take reviews like this seriously, as they highlight the intensity of the environment during this phase of our company’s evolution. We acknowledge that QAD is currently navigating a critical period of rapid transformation. Our shift from "Reactive Firefighting" to "Proactive Execution" —including major initiatives like "Operation Bug Kill" and our aggressive integration of AI across our specific segments —has understandably created a demanding pace. Our leadership’s goal, including Sanjay’s, is to modernize the business and transition fully to Cloud/SaaS to ensure QAD’s long-term viability and success. While this requires difficult structural decisions to ensure we have the right skills for the future, we deeply value the contributions of the experts who built our foundation. We do not condone a culture of burnout, and our aim is to move toward a model of working "smarter" rather than just harder. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your workload concerns specifically. Please consider reaching out to HR directly or utilizing our internal feedback channels so we can address these pain points constructively.

Thanks for your comments and I am sorry to hear your experience did not go well at QAD. We do work to be very open about our communications and I will share your experience with our team. This is not the outcome we would want in any situation and certainly want to ensure others do not have a similar experience. We wish you well in your next career endeavor.
