Pros
None of note that I can think of
Cons
There’s no doubting QA’s potential in the education sector. However it’s downfall is always going to be the culture. There are a few very admirable and talented employees within the firm, but they stand out because sadly they’re in the minority. Very soon after starting, even though you expect it to be a little “rough around the edges” due to size and fast expansion, you very quickly learn that there are huge issues with culture, professionalism and the overall concept of “doing the right thing”. During my time here (coming up to 6 months) I have witnessed behaviour which is shocking for any business to exist on in 2017. It feels incredibly backward (good luck if you’re looking for slick processes, effective people management or development opportunities outside of ‘who likes who’) and I regularly see management clashing due to personalities (rather than anything to do with work), very openly and unprofessionally, which makes for a very uncomfortable and unusual experience. There is no doubt that the majority of the board, and particularly the CEO have ambition and a vision which is convincing – however by them not addressing the people issues here this business will only continue to have high turnover and a long lasting negative reputation in the market. As some mention below, I’d also question the overly positive reviews here. Some directly responding to others, which sounds like QA Management to me.
