Pros

Fully Remote Great coworkers Workload is not bad

Cons

Micromanagement, team leads & higher management are disorganized and vague with how promotions work. They laid me off for 'performance,' but never specified the specific reason when I had the performance numbers from the daily performance reports. I was straight up lied to from my team lead about my performance. I agree with another anonymous reviewer about the company. Lots of fake happy work culture, and the promotions always seemed to be based on who was the most likable. It didn't help that after being lied to by my team lead about my performance, all that happened was a verbal apology and being moved from their team.

Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. To share a bit of context, we do unfortunately sometimes part ways for performance issues, but it's pretty rare (a handful out of 100 QA Engineer hires). We've also recently rolled out a new performance cycle to make it even more transparent about where QA Engineers stand in response to feedback from folks like yourself. While we're sorry this wasn't in place during your tenure, we do hope it helps for the future. Feel free to reach out to qa-hiring@qawolf.com if you'd like to chat more about your concerns. We'd love to connect your anonymous feedback to the context of your specific situation and make sure we've done right by you, as well as learn from this feedback for future hires and current employees.

Pros

- Decent pay - Always remote - 28 days of PTO - Free health insurance - Yearly retreats (last year we balled out in vegas) - Free lunch once a month - Frequent promotions (at least one per year, usually quicker) - Amazing work culture. Everyone is extremely friendly and hard working. - Etc.

Cons

If you're someone that likes to fly under the radar and not do real work, you won't do too well here. That's not to say the job is extremely demanding, but it is a fast paced start up so hard work is a must. On the other hand, the meritocracy means hard work is rewarded extremely well. I've been promoted twice in about 13 months.
