      We are glad to hear that you enjoyed working with our people at QA. Regarding the points you mention, it is sometimes the case (as with many other consulting businesses) that a situation of being on the bench can occur. However, we always do encourage our employees to take up alternative work during this time, whether it be personal development training or otherwise. Regarding the benefits we have on offer, we have been focussing on extending this. However we have always had a cycle to work and subsidised Gym membership scheme, as well as a voluntary private medical care scheme which you have the option to 'opt into'. We thank you for taking the time to offer your insight, and we wish you the very best of luck in your career.

      Pros

      Great team atmosphere Ability to earn good money - uncapped commission Ambitious, well-educated Board that continually grows the business in a sensible way Great products and service - you can feel comfortable that the business will do right by its customers

      Cons

      Lots of change - if you're easily unsettled this can be tough. It does create more opportunity though Divisions are slightly disjointed, but on the flip side, the scale of the business offers more opportunity

      Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you are enjoying your time at QA. We understand your mention of feeling unsettled to change; the success of the business means that over a fairly short amount of time divisions have expanded and evolved relatively quickly. That said, we hope that you have felt supported and communicated to during this time, and please be assured that it is a priority for us to continue to do so. We wish you continued success in your career at QA.

      Pros

      this is a review for QA Consulting not the entire QA, and I feel bad for QA that QAC uses their name. - it's great to mistreated in order to raise "company" profit - love to be ignored - take high pleasure in being lied to! - geographically flexible: deployed to a corner of the map for a never ending "3 months"

      Cons

      The bespoke training they keep boasting about is nothing but common sense talk that you already know or can google effortlessly and sometimes you have to teach them (i.e. CI and DevOps). It has no real value and of course no certification therefore you're paying 12k for them to waste your time in Manchester for 3 months while being unpaid. When you actually get deployed, they will completely forget about you, unless you do something that is not to their liking, moment when you will be shouted at like you're 2 again by some person who you've never heard of. They claim there is an appraisal process - there is nothing but more empty talks. The wage is less than decent, especially if you are sent off to London. They put stops to any personal development initiative and they hide under the cloak of offering you more of their "training" - which you will have to pay again. You don't even decide when to take your holidays and when you're sick or on leave you loose a great amount of the already small pay. This list could continue indefinitely but the main point is that they do not care about their employees and their sole purpose is to take care of themselves.

      Thank you for taking the time to submit your comments. As with any feedback which flags up issues which are not meeting the promise we make to our people please be assured that we will take your comments seriously. With the personal comments you mention, we would advise that in the first instance you discuss this with your line manager. If this is not appropriate, we would encourage you to call our People Team to have a confidential conversation and discuss how this matter can be resolved with their help. Regarding training, we offer programmes which are focussed on niche Technologies which are in high demand by current and potential clients. This does mean that in a very short space of time you are qualified to be placed at clients doing work which would otherwise take much longer - which we believe is of great benefit to the careers of those we employ. Regarding development, this is something to discuss with your line manager. Although we do have a formal appraisal and development process in place for all employees, we do encourage you to also take a proactive approach to your development. Seeking out opportunities and highlighting early how you would like your career with us to progress. We hope this helps with any concerns you may have, and we hope that with the above advice your experience with us improves quickly.
