Pros

The old QAD (pre-2022 and sale to Thoma Bravo) was amazing and built on foundations of employee care and development and everyone worked to ensure customers succeeded. (but that all changed)

Cons

It's a sinking ship. Don't let the marketing hype fool you. The leadership has had near total turnover in the last 2.5 years. If the company hits the PE owners' EBITDA target (though unlikely anytime soon) - you'll see another exodus as many of the execs and senior leaders cash in as they've been incentivized with 'shares' based on hitting aggressive profitability targets to the point the PE owners get their ROI and sell the company off. Massive numbers of highly talented people have been laid off to cut costs (especially in the US), Operations were closed in multiple countries. Layoffs continue like clockwork each quarter-end. QAD used to be very good at many things but has become an expert at letting people go. In reality this is exactly the path communicated when QAD sold off to private equity. It's sad and no longer the company so many employees and customers knew.

Thank you for your incredible 20 years of service with QAD. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience towards the end wasn’t as positive as we would have hoped. Since merging with Thoma Bravo, a leading private equity firm in technology, we’ve faced some challenges, including restructuring and reductions in certain areas. However, this partnership has also opened doors to exciting new investments in product development, acquisitions, and overall growth for QAD. Your dedication has been a crucial part of our journey, and we’re excited about the future and the opportunities it will bring. We wish you much success in your future endeavors.
