Pros

Nice and dark in the attic so no one knows whether or not if you're actually working. Free buns when it's someone's birthday. I never told anyone it was my birthday.

Cons

Interesting to see how three 5 star reviews suddenly appear - ALL on the same date after receiving a stream of bad yet HONEST reviews. There's some nice pictures of the company to mislead people. Worked as a developer. Was constantly told my work was poor quality whilst being threatened on a weekly basis that they were going to drop my salary. Training non existent. Director emptied my lunch all over my desk In front of my colleagues and asked me to lose weight. There's a really nasty set of individuals work in QA which had resulted in several colleagues to walk out. Awful environment. Awful people.

Pros

Standard benefits - paid overtime and a decent bonus scheme which brought the salary up a bit.

Cons

Salary was below average (even with the bonus and overtime) and not as competitive as other IT companies. There was limited progress. QA was a fractured team as I found it catty and dominated by contentious characters, making it an unpleasant work environment for the others they targeted. QA management were not effective in dealing with the issues and looked like they made things worse with the approach taken. It was a pretty toxic work place with difficulties in managing the people within the team in an effective manner. Dealing with issues in a professional way was seemingly not a priority. The QA office was a grim and depressing space in an attic with limited light because there was an insistence that the lights where kept off by management. This created an unhealthy workplace and wasn't challenged by any other management in the building whilst I was there as far as I know. QA has a high staff turn over with a lot of people resigning within a year. Several walked away because conditions became so dire for them. Essentially it was made difficult for them to properly integrate into the QA team. The sickness level was also something I thought was questionable too. Training and support is minimal. The system is not smooth enough for the approach of learn as you go. Support meant continuously interrupting to ask other team members for help which irritated them and probably made tensions amongst the team worse. I wouldn't recommend QA.
