QA reviews

Ok, I've been with QA for over a year now on what they call "The Bench" And I'm currently at risk of redundancy, here's what I've experienced in the past year. -Radio Silence for long periods of time, went without guidance or expectations for months and many of my colleagues were unfairly ejected from the business for not doing what we were never told to do. -Lies. We were told our trainer took unwell suddenly during the last week of training, turns out every training group had the exact same thing happen to them which makes me believe he was told to take it off or do something else. -More Lies. The CV's they generated for us weren't shown to us for months and when they were, they were filled with things we hadn't been trained on and spelling errors. -Lack of Communication. I was told early on we could request a Laptop, which is great, however it is now October and I've been requesting a laptop for well over 7 Months with zero response. -No support after the initial 12 weeks. -Expected to do 26 Hours a week on their internal training site with zero options for practical projects whilst on the bench. We've been contesting this amount of hours since August and nothing has been changed. You essentially spend all day watching video lectures and doing quizzes, and if you want to pause it for a moment to follow along with an example, the time you're paused and working doesn't go towards your 26 hours. -Absolutely zero opportunities unless you live in London. Honestly so disappointed in the last year, especially considering we're going through redundancy right now and we've been told there'll be no redundancy pay, no compromising on the *3 Month Notice*, no compromising on the restriction of working with competitors (Which given the scope of what QA cover could be construed as nearly anything IT related), and no respect.

Untrustworthy, deceitful, unhelpful and poorly managed top down
