Pros

I’d say only the colleagues and my direct manager and some few others.

Cons

Everything. They don’t listen to the employee, managers do, above don’t. They only want to play nice with the client to our expenses. Many amazing employees have left the company for this reason. Worst? They don’t even give you any extra pay even after more than 5 years in the company… they use you till you have had enough of this nonsense and leave because they don’t have what it takes to make ppl happy in this company. Even if there would (which there isn’t) any growth in this job. I wouldn’t want it and stopped doing it because above the higher management only hires ppl they like for no reason, just by face or whatever it is. And I have ppl who were managers whom told me this. Idiotic excuses for not hiring the real experienced employee who’s been years in the company vs someone NEW (less than Year) just because they liked that person.. that person didn’t even have any knowledge of anything and had to learn it ALL. I can’t.. I just can’t

Pros

There are good things about the company: the job is relatively easy if you have good verbal and basic computer technical skills. Would not be bad as first job out of college. Also friendly colleagues and management. Work expectations are straightforward and there are clear standards of accountability for the most part. Work is somewhat mind-stimulating in the beginning when you are learning materials but that doesn't last. If work is fully remote it is good in that you can be done for the day and not think about it afterwards. Not bad as day job for creative types.

Cons

Main con is lack of career advancement for most testers. Unless you can get a management position, HR, or have an advanced degree in linguistics you are basically in a dead-end job. Pay also not keeping up at all with inflation. Layoffs have been common the past year with the tech downturn. Holidays benefits are also crummy: they literally have employees go on unemployment during weeks of Christmas and Thanksgiving. If the job market is in recession as it was when I took position in 2020 pandemic, it's not the worst thing to take up for short term. But would avoid if job market is strong and you have multiple options.
