Pros

The benefits were very good, including shift differentials, healthcare, 401k, etc. Being part of a great team was wonderful and a great learning experience. Pay was very fair. Made lots of good memories there.

Cons

Upper management is very unpredictable and often would not listen or find ways to assist when being short-staffed. If anything, they seemed to make the work life more difficult and expected consistently high output of work despite losing a team mate, leading to burnout and stress. Your experience, including the culture, is incredibly dependent on the teammates and location.

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.
