Ok. Where to begin.
I joined QA with the ambition to become a qualified IT consultant. What they were offering in a job package was music to my ears. Only to find out very soon that I had been suckered in to a glorified shambles..
The training they offered to train as a IT consultant was depicted as world class.. but very soon I realised it was anything but world class. The trainers didn’t care about the program or us as individuals. The quality of management was horribly secondary and facilities were dire.
As the price of the training was at £1k per week – that meant dropping out and changing job direction was a bleak ambition due to the ridiculous fees that mounted up. After 12 weeks of ‘training’ which was absolutely anything but world class.. Which was backed up by all the candidates on the program accordingly.
After spending several moths jobless and next to zero contact from QA themselves regarding potential job positions, which were promised to us from their extensive list of FTSE 100 company partners. Of course non of which came to fruition. If you leave or fired during the contract period they will be very quick to send you a bill for £12k to payback the cost of the training.
It’s a wonder how these people sleep at night knowing that they are intentionally ripping off graduates at the start of their career. But in the end I find solace in knowing that companies that treat their staff so outrageously poorly and put profits ahead of people, never last.
Avoid like the plague..
