Pros
1. Stability - There is no dependency on the client, as Qualitest always insures that an employ will have a position. If an activity is ceased in a certain client, there are always option to transfer the employ to another client of the company. 2. Constant updates - Qualitest makes sure that every employ, even if not working at the company's headquarters, will know what is going on. This element has been improving in the last couple of years. Weekly updates are a common base for the company, along with monthly and period meetings such as Townhalls and such. 3. QT Academy - Certainly one of the top advantages if one wishes to learn beyond his / her position in the company. Qualitest provides a user for each employee to expand one's knowledge on a variety of subjects that are offered by the QT Academy portal. 4. A chance to prove one's self - Qualitest provides a good start for a testing career, whether by offering courses in order to gather capabilities, or offering a chance for candidates with no experience to have a chance at the industry. 5. Career - Due to the vastness of Qualitest's clientele, there is a good measure of chances for employees to find positions, whether for further experience or for promotion to management. 6. Work / Life Balance - Qualitest takes care of the employee's needs for that balance. Also, there are various ways to find resolutions for the benefit of the employee, in particular working from home (if possible).
Cons
1. Wage - Being provided with a chance to a start a new position in testing, without previous experience, or qualification, is a big advantage. However, going up the ladder, it appears that the wages of the promoted employee isn't close enough to what the market offers to the same positions. 2. Training - Qualitest, at from my perspective, entrust itself in the OJT model (On-Job Training). Therefore, new employees start positions without receiving from the company the basic knowledge in testing. This leaves the Functional Managers (Team Leaders) to tutor and teach every aspect of testing, other than focusing on actual testing at the client's environment.
