Vantaggi
They pay you on time. Only for people living with their parents that don't need to pay bills and just want a small income - even then it's only for those who don't care at all about the quality of their work. Good memes from the depressed workforce.
Svantaggi
Testers are hired with zero hour contracts with the promise that there is work 99% of the time, then left hanging for weeks without any work (and income) while telling them off for expecting more and saying that this is not a career, if you want to make a living you shouldn't have applied and can walk away. Many have walked away already, but the company and management can't comprehend that they are the reason why they are losing people. I have never heard of or seen a company where the CEO comes by only a couple times a year and you have to explain to people that this is the person you are working for not just some random person from the street. While working here, expect being lied to on a daily basis, taken advantage of and be gaslighted. No opportunities for advancement except when the senior staff quits - this is when management will scramble and put 5 people's workload on 1-2 testers with a very humorous 'acting lead' title and no payrise for months. These people usually back down in the coming weeks or months after being disillusioned and exposed to the company's policy to lie to the clients about every detail and having to wrangle the depressed, disposable staff. There are no benefits, the only two positive experiences are the lovely zero hour contract people and the relief you get when you finally leave and realise that you are worth something.
