Pros

- Flexible work when on call (You can make yourself unavailable 24 hours before the shift starts. You just might be calles less often or not at all if you do it too often) - Get hands on some new games before they are ready - Easy summer job (If you really just want to do it for the summer, go for it. You'll probably work a lot and the rest doesn't matter. If you intend to work here fulltime, think about it twice.)

Cons

- Management cares little about wellbeing of employee. - Low salary (13-14$ per hour as a normal tester) - Unsecure work (New employees usualy start on call. Older employees get contracts, but when there is no project, the company does not manage to use the ressources properly) - Zero talent management. Management does not know who they are working with, what goals these people have, what strengthes and weaknesses. Your past (Education and work experience) is not taken into account and not paid for either. - Employee 'happiness' is bought with free fruits, affordable coffee and doughnuts once every 2 weeks.

Pros

- I like my peers, they're funny and young (not Courtney)

Cons

where do i start.. - This job is remote, but you are forced to ONLY work from home. You can't even go two minutes down the street. As if we're working on some ultra private government content. Let me reiterate, YOU CANNOT WORK ANYWHERE OTHER THAN YOUR HOME. As if we are quarantined. - 30 minute unpaid lunch that you have to work off at the end of the day (as if we are minimum wage service workers not working a 9-5) - Extremely low pay, pay us like dogs - Leadership has a huge stick up their butts - You are basically on call all the time, they expect you to respond within 10 minutes of any message, and if you dont, you're in trouble
