Pros

-Work is easy -Interview was easy -Most of my co-workers were cool -It's a job and you get paid for it, I guess

Cons

-Starting salary is $10 an hour. If you are an adult living in the US, you cannot live off of $10 an hour ($9.50 at the branch in Tennessee). Many people there have college degrees or aspirations for greater things but the company knows that lots of people want to get into the video game industry and is exploiting this. -No room for growth. There are those legendary tales of people who started in QA and worked up to lead game design positions so I understand that some people would take this as a stepping stone for greater things. Good luck with that though. Once in a while they'll promote someone internally to lead-tester but even that is a dead end job. Your best bet is to hope to get hired by one of their clients, which happens rarely, and then work your way up from their internal QA department to the job that you really want. -High turnover. Due to low pay, no chance of growth and the occasional layoffs, turnover is high.

This is a great team who cares about their employees. They are flexible with time off requests and work hard to make sure we have what we need to succeed.

Cons

The pay is less than ideal. It takes 3 full years just to reach $15/hour

Pros

Nice work from home job. I was very hopeful and still had a spark in my eyes when I started.

Cons

They misspelled my name on my equipment return email and they wanna get on me for using past tense oof. They’re very nit-picky. Everything has to be in a particular formula. A lot of stuff is piled onto you on training week. They tell you to ask questions, but when you do, they delivered it in such a way that makes you feel small.
