      Pros

      People were mostly very competent . Fun environment , easy going , relaxed , flexible hours . Advanced within the organization . Compensation was standard . Bonuses very good ( thanks to blizzard ) . . .

      Cons

      Products never got enough marketing support . While a fun place to work due to the people, employee morale was in the middle of the road due to product lack of success . No great hits . Another year or two and we may have had a shot . Will never know what might have developed in 09 - 10. Lots of good stuff was in the pipeline - all gone now due to merger .

      Pros

      This is a QA perspective: They hire from within, and if you show them some loyalty and competence they will return the favor. The atmosphere at work is great, and the managers are nice to the testers. They can definetly relate and do their best not to treat us like high school dropouts, which so many other QA testers in other companies are treated like. They also have an excellent training program over a week's period, so that when you get to working you feel like you know what you are doing. There is lots of overtime pay to be found at Vivendi as a QA tester.

      Cons

      This is a QA perspective: Even with loyalty and competence it may still take you up to 3 years to become a permanent tester. The pay is low and there are no benefits. (Although this is common with all QA jobs) There is usually only alot of work during the summer months. Alot of the testers get placed on Call around winter. And I felt that it was really up to luck on whether you would get work through the winter months or not. Even if you were really great at your job, if the timing was not right, then you were not kept.
