If you can't get a team lead, automation or one of the specialty positions, dont work here.

Pros

QA experience was beneficial to my future career but the work environment was poor and the management was even worse.

Cons

The pay was really bad. 9.00/ 9.50 an hour to strenuously test games or applications for a company is not worthwhile.

Business Outlook

Pros

Hands down the best benefits of any company I've ever worked for. Corporate level cares very deeply about the experience of its employees and taking care of its people.

Cons

Most political infighting I've ever witnessed. Business decisions are frequently made to protect interests and bad leaders are allowed to fail upward. Instability due to frequent restructuring. Top talent is driven out if they don't fall in line - progression only afforded to those in favor. Career was negatively impacted for taking corporate granted family leave.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are decent. Good health insurance and discounts and free games

Cons

Sometimes you feel like a monkey just doing the low level work without motivation or incentive. Anything you say to management is not heard. You need to be in the know to get anywhere, promotions are often seen but usually relatives or friends of management get those. The lower down the totem poll you are, the more work you do for lower pay. You find out new announcements from the public as low level workers don't get informed until after it comes through live support from a customer. Very "clannish". Groups of people stick together so if your not in the know you won't go anywhere.
