Pros

Good pay and benefits 4 weeks of PTO

Cons

Poor pipeline. In order to generate cash for acquisitions, cost cuts pressure. People are overworked and not happy. Many aggressive people you will have to work with. Poor infrastructure makes you do tons of manual works. Toxic culture. Don’t get fooled by the money they offer unless you are ready to work 150% capacity

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
