Vantaggi
This is a QA perspective: They hire from within, and if you show them some loyalty and competence they will return the favor. The atmosphere at work is great, and the managers are nice to the testers. They can definetly relate and do their best not to treat us like high school dropouts, which so many other QA testers in other companies are treated like. They also have an excellent training program over a week's period, so that when you get to working you feel like you know what you are doing. There is lots of overtime pay to be found at Vivendi as a QA tester.
Svantaggi
This is a QA perspective: Even with loyalty and competence it may still take you up to 3 years to become a permanent tester. The pay is low and there are no benefits. (Although this is common with all QA jobs) There is usually only alot of work during the summer months. Alot of the testers get placed on Call around winter. And I felt that it was really up to luck on whether you would get work through the winter months or not. Even if you were really great at your job, if the timing was not right, then you were not kept.
