Pros

great WLB secure jobs; no lay-offs managers are nice and understanding. no micro-managing everyone seems to mind their own business so the culture might seem a little cold at first but they're always there to help if you reach out

Cons

Once you're assigned a feature to test, you're stuck with it for quite a while (could be years) - some teams will rotate features after 1-2 years, some don't, which makes the daily work tasks quite repetitive. There are not many opportunities to learn beyond the daily work tasks and grow further within the team or the company. Annual raise or promotion can happen very slowly; no clear % was communicated regarding this either. It's also hard to position yourself again in the market since your experience is strongly tied to a specific feature within FOS. This is more of a job for someone who wants a comfortable, stable work to retire, not for ambitious individual who has a growth mindset I also find the mandatory 4-day in-office work is unnecessary. Most employees feel this way too. This role is quite independent itself so having to come in office so often can affect one's work satisfaction in the long run.
