Not a bad stepping stone

Pros

-Coworkers here are great, usually college graduates or otherwise. They'll keep you sane! -It's a great stepping stone. If you ever go onsite at a client, you'll be able to develop your professional network and learn a thing or two about other technologies from different industries. Make the most of your time at the company to network with other coworkers and learn some new skills on your own time.

Cons

-Low pay. First and foremost, there's a very good reason for this: you need very little experience to no experience. If you can understand that 1) you are completely expendable and 2) the job is meant to be a stepping stone towards other career opportunities, then the low pay shouldn't be a problem. -Promotions and going onsite at a client are not always guaranteed. They depend on how well the company is doing and whether or not clients have business. This is the nature of the contracting business. Other than for a few company veterans, it is EXTREMELY unlikely that any new hire is going to want to stay at the company for very long. -Dress code is business casual...for a non-client facing role if you are at the Center of Excellence. Makes no sense although it is meant for you to get used to dressing like that when you go onsite. Funny thing is at some of the more casual business partners, you can wear whatever you want anyway and no one's gonna bat an eye.

Last Resort

Pros

- A great place to pad you resume with relevant QA experience - Coworkers make working here bearable - Networking. A positive side-effect of many people moving on to better opportunities means that old colleagues often reach out to see if you need a job making 2x-3x more elsewhere - Pod system. Sit back and relax as someone else does the work - Snacks

Cons

- Low pay. As someone had mentioned before, you will be close to living paycheck to paycheck - Strays away from tools used in the industry, while still preaching "best practice" - In-house QA tool is a pain to use and inefficient. I'm sure the CEO is aware of it but demands us to use it, even when the client refuses to use it - Your "training" is 30 min a day of watching youtube videos - Pod system. Sit back and reflect on what else you can be doing with your life. They took the idea of pair-programming and made it worse. - Promotion is a joke. They do mass hirings and fire the people who are under-performing or people who are not "likable" - Work months without benefits and don't get paid holidays A lot of the decisions they are making are made in vain to appeal clients while negatively affecting the efficiency and morale of the employees.
