Growing Test Consultancy
Pros
Joined after leaving university - throught the company graduate Academy programme. The three months training in the Academy based in Richmond was very up to date. Trainers are really friendly and had lots of practical experience, as many are recent ex contractors in SDET or Development. Training on the SDET course was excellent Recently started working on interesting project in a large Government project Testing Circle has recently won a lot of new projects in the Government sector so it is a good time to join the company Good way to get your first role in testing after leaving university as the training was provided for free. However you do have to provide a two year commitment to Testing Circle for this 3 months free training Company seems to be growing at a rapid rate as they now have over 100 IT consultants working for them.
Cons
Had to wait two month before my first assignment. However the Academy team did keep in contact during this time to update me the status of opportunities More social events and contacts with Test Consultants based on client site
