Pros

Most co-workers are very chill people. A few interesting project. Donuts every Friday (If you like them). Attached to a super C. Good restaurants nearby. ONE decent Lead

Cons

HR is a joke, they constantly make mistakes on your pay and have changed employees 5 times in the 5 months I've worked here. Same terrible managers since Bug tracker, managers and HR don't understand how to make their employees happy. Management tried to bribe us with "Pizza" if we exceeded the daily bug quota Low pay for Testers/Seniors/Leads alike. Bought us a coffee machine that we have to buy our own coffee for and is never maintained. Projects are terribly organized, many leads just don't care about their job. Other Senior testers who never show up/don't work are let off the hook. Regular testers are treated like garbage for missing one day. Takes good people off projects and then wastes time replacing them with incompetent ones. Expected to give 100% even though they pay you minimum wage. Break room is too small for number of employees. Constantly Asked to do overtime to an almost asinine level . They never replaced the broken water cooler, so we lost the one thing that used to be free. Too cheap to pay for missing windows 10 and Microsoft office licenses. Given many speeches on silly things that had nothing to do with work or the project at hand, such as bathroom cleanliness.

Pros

Some of the best and most caring people in office, management is understanding and HR is super nice

Cons

Pay is $8/hr starting, offices are cramped with no privacy and the top company leadership clearly does not give a single thought to how they effect their employees with their decision making
