Good foot in the door but the company needs real changes - QA Lead PLUS QA Employee Review

Dear former employee, I’m sorry to hear you had a poor experience while working with us. Our employees’ well being is important to us. In addition to standard sick time and PTO, we offer paid mental health day and additional sick leave for COVID. We also offer weekly work out classes. Our full-time and part-time employees are eligible to join the company 401k plan which has a strong company match. Employee connections and friendships are something we have always tried to foster which is why we plan company-wide and team events throughout the year and have non-work related Slack channels based on employees’ interests. Our employees have the option to work 100% from home, which we realize is important to them. We have employees who have been with us for over 10 years and if they felt like they were being exploited I assume they would not be with us anymore. The majority of our employees started with us as part-time QA Analysts and had the opportunity to grow within the company over the years which is something we encourage. We also encourage open communication. If there is an issue or concern we want to be aware of it so we can try to resolve it. I am not sure what you experienced in terms of scheduling however a part-time employee’s hours are rarely cut last minute. It can happen if a client postpones a project but it is definitely not the norm. We assign testers to projects based on their availability and skill set. I wish you the best and I hope you will have a positive experience at your next job.
