Pros

-Kept me from living on the streets, eating garbage.... -Played games -Other QAers were generally smart, hard-working, and fun to be around.

Cons

Management had a tendency to punish any innovation, since (and I can only assume here due to the universality of this problem) it threatened their own tenuous jobs and we were after all just contract workers, gone in 12 months no matter what kind of job we did. This hostility was especially true if that good work happened to be recognized and applauded by the main office in Marin, or even worse, by the developers (such as Firaxis) that we happened to be working with at the time. Fun times.

Pros

Congratulations on joining an IT department sustained primarily by optimism and certificates whose expiration dates invite reflection. Tickets enter a triage process best described as ceremonial — acknowledged warmly, processed philosophically, resolved at the discretion of the universe. Infrastructure decisions suggest a confident autodidactic energy that formal training might have tempered. Your recommendations will be received, appreciated verbally, and composted with dignity. The company charges a premium for its products and charges again for the remainder of them, which is either visionary pricing strategy or a personality trait depending on your tolerance. The gaming chairs are ambitious. The retention numbers are instructive

Cons

• Your labor props up a machine that monetizes joy incrementally until joy is gone • Every unresolved ticket is a monument to institutional indifference • Heidegger called it thrownness — you were thrown here specifically • The infrastructure will outlive your dignity but not your burnout • Mark Fisher already described this place in Capitalist Realism and did not recommend it • You will achieve nothing that compounds • The servers go down. You stay down longer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
