Pros

Competitive Pay: The salary offered was competitive and one of the few positive aspects of the role.

Cons

Lack of Proper Onboarding and Knowledge Transfer: There was no structured onboarding process or knowledge transfer. The only training consisted of video calls that were recorded, which didn’t provide adequate or actionable knowledge for new hires. No Documentation: There were no test cases or user stories provided, leaving employees to figure things out without clear guidance. This created confusion and inefficiency. Inefficient Bug Handling: Instead of categorizing and documenting bugs quickly, the QA Lead would insist on lengthy conversations before determining whether something was truly a bug. This slowed down the QA process and made it difficult to get work done efficiently. Poor Management and Support: The QA Lead's management style was dismissive, often gaslighting employees and questioning their understanding of tasks. There was little to no constructive feedback, which created a toxic and uncollaborative environment. No Clear Responsibility for Bug Decisions: The responsibility to determine whether an issue was a bug was not delegated clearly to the QA Lead, resulting in unnecessary delays in addressing bugs. Clear guidelines and ownership of responsibilities were lacking. Lack of Collaboration and Guidance: There was a significant absence of collaboration or guidance, and employees were often left without the resources they needed to succeed.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We take feedback seriously, as it helps us reflect and improve. However, we want to clarify that our onboarding process provides all employees with comprehensive resources and support to succeed. This includes access to eight years of detailed Jira tickets, a GitLab repository containing up-to-date specifications for the past two years, Figma designs spanning four years, and the ability to collaborate directly with our development team. Additionally, our QA team dedicates significant time to training and mentorship to ensure every team member has the tools they need to thrive. At some point, however, we expect colleague to start flying on their own after 4 weeks on continuous training, feedback, one-on-ones and other types of support. We regret that your experience did not align with our expectations and the support provided. We remain committed to fostering a positive and productive environment for all team members.
