Thank you for taking the time to provide your review. It is clear from your 3 star rating and some of our other consultant reviews in the last few days that there is more to be done to ensure consultant satisfaction. As you will see from my comments to some of the other reviewers, I am working internally to address some of our procedures including our communications to graduates which I hope will address some of the issues you have experienced too.

Pros

Training was decent although for our cohort however no direction of what we could be doing

Cons

Graduate job is NOT guaranteed! Even after training (12 weeks unpaid although free accommodation which is a good standard) job is not guaranteed. If they can't find anything for you they will say you are not good enough and let you go. Pay is considerably below par for this industry and there are few benefits. Some clients work you considerably overtime (although this is not with everyone) and will send you back just like that if you complain and will most likely will be let go after that.

It was hard to read your review. The strength of negative feeling within it is clear to see and I do not want anyone else experiencing the issues you have faced. It has led to me launching an internal investigation to understand what has gone so wrong. The comments in your review about there being a lack of opportunities for our graduates are very concerning because it is not reflective of the reality of the situation. So the fact this is what trainees are hearing is worrying. My internal investigation has led to changes around the way we manage graduate communications so that graduates are always kept in the loop on what is happening with their deployments. Feeling undervalued and overworked at certain client sites is not something we want for our new starters and this is an issue I am keen to understand more about so I can pinpoint the client sites where this is an issue. Having recently spent some time with a number of graduates at a client site I know this not to be a case across the board so it is important we identify the problem areas and address it quickly. I would really appreciate it if you could get in touch with me directly about this on stuart.martin@qa.com. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this.

Nothing much. few issues should always be there, but a learner can always ignore them and get the best out of it.

A 4 star review is always great to see, but hopefully in time we will get it up to a 5 star one. Reading that you are getting lots of opportunity to explore and grow is always rewarding to hear as progression and personal growth is an important element we look to offer our staff. Your suggestion re: trainee care is very helpful – we know we have more to do here and our Consultant management team have been seeking suggestions from our trainee community to look at how we can improve this further. If you would like to feed into this more or understand more about what we are looking to do then you can email Mike Coleman directly. Thanks for taking the time to write a review for us and I wish you a long and happy career with QA
