      Pros

      The role was aligned with career and study.

      Cons

      Upon interview, hiring manager wanted guarantees on loyalty to stay with the company for a long period of time. However, the same company could not hold their end of the bargain when it comes to layoff season. Don’t be another victim Low pay compared to Glassdoor submission. Health benefits aren’t better than any other companies. Relocation benefit aren’t competitive since they use in house services. You either use it or lose it.

      Pros

      The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

      Cons

      QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
