Pros

Rewarding work, friendly and supportive employees, generally laid back atmosphere. If you enjoy games and are willing to put in the effort to find bugs you will both make friends and enjoy your work here. There are also some things have changed since other reviews were left. The office has changed premises to a building with a courtyard where employees can take breaks and has a kitchen which is open to everyone. There is no parking immediately next to the office but there are a number of cheap car parks within a 5 minute walking distance. Yes, the majority of workers are white and male. That's not surprising given the job. However, the workplace is friendly to LGBT and racial diversity.

Cons

Zero hours contract, so sometimes there are periods where work is scarce. It can take some time before you are able to prove yourself as a good tester. However, if you are able to do so you will find yourself in consistently, unless there aren't many projects in. Things can get cramped on lunch breaks as space where people can use their phones or other devices is limited. Sometimes the boss gives you a dressing down and can say things which sound out of touch.

Pros

If you are a older gamer like me then there isn't many places where you would get a chance to work in the industry and get an opportunity to do what you love. I gave up a career in construction because I disliked it and applied on the off chance I'd get to do something I loved doing in my spare time (what little of it I had) and I have not looked back. Workplace atmosphere is fantastic, when everyone you work with is just as passionate about you interests as you are then there is always something to chat and have a laugh about. It's laid back and relaxed, throughout the day you can hear people chatting about all sorts and laughing as they work. Management is friendly and approachable and most importantly honest. If you are struggling with any aspect of the job (sometimes even personal life) you can talk to someone and get help or advice with whatever ales you. I don't regret my choice to do a massive swerve in career one bit and am hoping for and looking forward to a long career in the industry.

Cons

Zero hour contract is the only real con but in this industry it's completely understandable. The company simply wouldn't exist if they offered everyone a contract. ..But if you put in the effort, do the job to the best of your ability and work hard you will be the top of the list to be called in. There have been very few times when I've not been called in.
