      Not a real tech company

      Pros

      One of the few big software companies in Los Angeles. Many years ago, before the Silicon Beach, there weren't many options in LA for software developers, FIM was one of the better ones.

      Cons

      The company culture is closer to movie production studio than real software tech company.

      QA Experience Is Average

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Experienced QA management - Talented testing teams who are eager to share knowledge - Trained QA rules that ensured limited bug duplication and high quality bug writing - Pay is equal to industry average (neither pro or con) - Free drinks and sometimes free food (with OT) - Very strict break schedules

      Cons

      - Outsourced a lot of QA jobs - Working conditions were dirty (this was when QA was in the basement of the Santa Monica office, has since moved to a new office space) - Difficult to move up - Limited computers that hindered efficient bugging practices - Felt like a competition with other testers

      An entry level position, the only way to get a significant pay bump/promotion was to leave to a different comapny.

      Pros

      The mid-upper management is very amiable and understanding. They tend to have a lax environment and treat everyone fairly. They're not micro-managing you and as long as you get what you need to get done, done, everything is smooth as molasses.

      Cons

      I believe budget allocation for raises were skewed. They take care of the people up top but are okay with turnover below. Nothing new.
