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.

Pros

Open door policy. Executive team is approachable and friendly, when available - they have been expanding to a new facility, so CEO has been busy with that effort. Has a "family" feel at times. SQaaS Manager is receptive and treated me as a teammate not a subordinate. Even though she had her own private office, she spent most of her time in the SQaaS area: working, training, and helping the SQaaS team. I was not experienced with QA and just out of college, so it was great to get paid while I learned.

Cons

Fast growing means growing pains and that can lead to knowledge gaps at times and sometimes conflicts. Some of the benefits isn't great compared to industry. Competing in the QA space against off-shore companies, so initial training salary is low.
