      QA : Good Company but Bad Managers and leads

      Pros

      Good Company Gain knowlegde Experience in testing

      Cons

      Bad leads and Managers, Managers supports only to leads and not for employees. If you have dominate character then you will become senior or lead. There is no value for truly working employees. Leads are not professional.

      Pros

      Good place to work because of a healthy work culture. Good compensation compared to companies in the same bracket. Overall good exposure to mobile technologies like iOS, Windows phone and Android. Good growth prospects for high performers. Onsite opportunities and overall less politics compared to other mid level IT companies.

      Cons

      There Aggressive work culture which can look daunting but definitely rewarding. Overall not a company for just filling in the hours. There are no coffee machines and below average cafeteria.

      Good People, Horrific Management

      Pros

      The folks on the ground in the US are outstanding, including working with clients and interacting with each other. There's a sense of camaraderie and purpose when it comes to these folks.

      Cons

      Fundamentally, this is a horrific company when it comes to a variety of things. Pay is significantly below market standards. The benefit package is extremely basic (medical, dental, vision). They've just launched a 401(k), but without a match. You receive a bank of PTO days to be used for *all* purposes: vacation, sick, bereavement, with no ability to take unearned PTO. The main office in India have horrible communication skills, and have less of a priority than is necessary. They still consider themselves a start-up, despite being in business for over fours. Absolutely no flexibility when it comes to working from home and the like. Promotions/reviews use the abhorrent stack ranking system, encouraging back-biting and attacking other coworkers
