Pros

I have been working for this company for 3 years, and it has really been rewarding. This is the only company I know that pays you to train with them. They really promote learning and growing your skill set while you are with the company and even offer free training sessions every Wednesdays. They mold you into a QA professional and it is really comes into play when you are face to face with a business partner and you have worked your way up to a QA Analyst. Since you are learning many different types of skills, it is very easy to be put on difference projects and gain valuable experience on different projects. The compensation is also great compared to other companies and has more opportunities to advance higher position than most QA companies. This company is really great and I look forward to keep advancing my career here.

Cons

All business partners and training centers are based in LA or Orange County. So if you live outside those areas, the travel is pretty inconvenient.

Pros

Free lunch once a week. Fairly relaxed environment. If you show dedication and garner some respect, you can get away with arriving up to five minutes late and/or wearing relaxed business attire. Ping pong is a required breaktime activity.

Cons

Management is terrible. I was promised raises and promotions on multiple occasions, which put me in an awkward position of always being a transitional role. Other employees were often reprimanded for showing up as little as one minute late, or not being in completely pristine professional business attire. One of the managers was very unprofessional, and would often joke about and mock people who weren't present, even divulging private information about interviews (I discovered this when he openly discussed details of an interview, expressing his distaste with and making fun of the person he had interviewed, who just so happened to be a close friend of mine, something he probably didn't know). They make a big deal about how much they pay their employees, when in reality they only pay slightly more than minimum wage. They promised me quick raises, but after months of working for them, they refused all requests for a raise. The CEO is a generally nice guy, but does not do enough managing to be effective. He leaves that to his managing staff, who are generally unprofessional and completely disrespectful to the average employees. The high turnover rate means you're constantly adjusting to new coworkers, and the horrendously simple interview process means possibly getting stuck with someone who has literally no idea what he or she is doing (one of my teammates didn't even know how to use Microsoft Office).

Pros

Free lunch on Wednesdays. Also, you get to see different client business models. Besides that, not too much else.

Cons

All levels of management related. Normally, this shouldn't be a problem, except in the occasion where people have shown little to no merit. There were multiple instances in which mangament would make very sexist/machista remarks and act as if a great joke was made. So needless to say, not a welcoming place. Non existent benefits and a very unclear path to promotion. A very hazy "be an owner" program that is very hand-wavy.
