Toxic QA Organization

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

- Outstanding products and leading-edge technology. - Competitive compensation. - Exceptional engineers.

Cons

- The QA department operates with a hierarchical structure that includes various management layers, such as senior directors, directors, senior QA managers, QA managers, and QA leads. Unfortunately, these layers are significantly disconnected from the products and are unaware of the daily tasks and projects their team members are engaged in. - Due to this organizational structure and lack of communication, office politics have become prevalent. Individuals are more focused on pleasing their management hierarchy than on their product-related responsibilities. Additionally, collaboration with the engineering team is challenging due to the misalignment in reporting structures between QA and engineering.

Pros

The pay was good. Nice benefits. You will be working with one of the more popular games engines.

Cons

We were promised no layoffs would be necessary, then they went with the layoffs. You can't work on personal projects or do anything without prior approval from the company, even if it's not related to your work. They mostly ignore their European offices.
