Pros

All other testers and leads are incredibly friendly.

Cons

I highly doubt that the two positive reviews written recently were not written by employees, as I do not understand how anyone could have 0 complaints with so many glaring issues at this company. The main issue with this company is management. They give little to no communication. We find out 2 hours before the end of the day if we are working the next. They have 0 regard or care for their employees and treat them like numbers on a spreadsheet. During a slow preiod of work there were barely any projects going around for testers. During this they continued to hire more staff and gave them priority on the work neglecting their longer term employees and provided 0 communication. Some employees did not work for months. They have also been firing multiple employees without any real reason. Testers have been forced to work in roles they were not trained to do, and then fired for failing to follow that role. Some employees were not even told they were fired, they were just never asked in again, giving 0 communication until they repeatedly asked. This meant that they did not start looking for jobs for a week or two after as they assumed they still had one. Some employees who became assistant leads/leads were not given a promised pay raise for months. Almost all of management have resigned, and the new staff they hired in left after 2 months of working there. This company is a mess and its all the remaining employees talk about now.

Pros

A hand full of genuinely nice people. The break room is great. They are relatively accepting and a very diverse enviroment.

Cons

There is a lot of gossip. Pay is terrible. They expect a lot from you for how much they pay. I once watched a guy at work almost OD and they didn’t know how to deal with it at all.
