Pros

Lots of room for growth within the company. I worked here many years ago when this SQAsquared was called SQA Resources and located in Brea and then during their move to Hawthorne. At the time, there were less than 10 employees total and the one thing that stuck out to me was how much the owner/CEO cared about training and investing in his employees. I remember thinking, this guy has a growth mindset and will take this company far.

Cons

Don't have much to complain about. This place is great for those looking to expand their QA careers

Pros

This is a place where you will be learning, and doing entry level QA Analyst work. It's tedious, boring, but it will help you cultivate skills that actually have market value. You don't need experience, you just need to be quite tech savvy. The CEO's Nephew is very down to earth, and very approachable. You have a lot of potential to learn about how businesses operate, and not just your own either, since this company deals with a lot of business partners you get to learn a lot about different business models and different software various industries use. Everyone; peers and management alike are very laid back. You can network with like-minded people interested in the same field potentially. They got ping pong and a smash bros setup Free lunch once a week. You get experience working in an agile environment. (I think it's stupid, but it's very popular in this sector or work, so getting used to it is a plus) Again I want to drive this point home, this is an entry level position, you will be paid an entry level amount, you will be asked to perform entry level tasks, they don't lie to you about pay, they don't embeds any illusion of benefits in you. If you've been working here for a few years, and you feel you've acquired the skills to justify a higher pay, or benefits or both, and they refuse it, go somewhere else. Don't whine at them because your desires don't fit their business model.

Cons

These are probably a bit more subjective. You're in a bullpen style room with everyone else, it feels exactly like a computer classroom. You can hear pretty much everyone conversations going on, it's pretty distracting. (But they let you wear headphones and listen to music) You're not directly micro managed, but their "task" system essentially makes you micro manage yourself. Lesser of two evils I suppose, but I think it's pretty asinine. Their "on-boarding" system is completely wonky, for a business that makes you micro manage all your activities they ironically have an on-boarding system that is completely without structure. Your peers are pretty catty towards management. It's pretty boring.
