Pros

You get some, allbeit outdated, training

Cons

Outdated training. Trainers aren't experienced, just recycled members of the academy. Job prospects are little, every interview seemed lacking and a waste of time. I had three interviews set up by QA and 0 offers. While I had three of my own interviews and three offers, take from that what you will. Pay is way below industry standard. Company seems to be full of useless middle management, they aren't a technology company at all they are a sales company. As a consultant you will be their product, and they don't treat their products well.

Thank you for taking your time to share your feedback with us and we are sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience with us. Our QAC training programme consists of 12 weeks free training in which it enables our learners the chance to upskill and at the end of this, every effort is made to place them in a role. As we are aware this isn't always possible and in order to reduce bench-time, we will only keep our consultants on the bench for 3 months to allow them to explore other opportunities. Our pay structure is also consistent and guaranteed for all, progression is dependent on the individual and their performance after training. With regards to our management teams, as with all our staff we are constantly upskilling and working alongside our managers to provide training to ensure as a team we are working to the highest level we can. Your feedback indicates there could be improvements made here and we'll work hard to address it however if you would like to discuss any of these points more, please email zoe.penfold@qa.com and we will be happy to follow this up with you.

Pros

The skills platform developed by the former Cloud Academy team was innovative and well-received by customers.

Cons

Since my voluntary departure, the company has proven to be unreliable and somewhat cagey. Under the terms of their articles of association and ISD, they had 12 months to repurchase my preferred shares. Nearly 18 months have passed, and they refuse to repurchase my shares or communicate any reasons for the delay. One might conclude that they are dealing with financial difficulties.
