Pros
- A great place to pad you resume with relevant QA experience - Coworkers make working here bearable - Networking. A positive side-effect of many people moving on to better opportunities means that old colleagues often reach out to see if you need a job making 2x-3x more elsewhere - Pod system. Sit back and relax as someone else does the work - Snacks
Cons
- Low pay. As someone had mentioned before, you will be close to living paycheck to paycheck - Strays away from tools used in the industry, while still preaching "best practice" - In-house QA tool is a pain to use and inefficient. I'm sure the CEO is aware of it but demands us to use it, even when the client refuses to use it - Your "training" is 30 min a day of watching youtube videos - Pod system. Sit back and reflect on what else you can be doing with your life. They took the idea of pair-programming and made it worse. - Promotion is a joke. They do mass hirings and fire the people who are under-performing or people who are not "likable" - Work months without benefits and don't get paid holidays A lot of the decisions they are making are made in vain to appeal clients while negatively affecting the efficiency and morale of the employees.
