Bursts (Contractors) are not treated fairly or equally
- Decent team members
- Cool games to work on
- Pay was $13 until the 2021 lawsuit.
- Contractors don't get to go to any company events.
- Contractors do the same work (most of the time better) and get paid less.
- No job security (Raven Software lies and layoffs).
- No real support (anything you say will probably be ignored).
- Most people working full-time have a superiority complex.
- There is NO way to move up in QA or move out to another role.
- Not allowed to apply internally, but also required to apply internally (intentionally broken/blocked website for contract employees).
- Only full-time employees get training and certifications.
- Bad vibes from most of leadership. (All the nice, helpful, and kind leadership left, leaving us with all the disgruntled and rude bosses who don't care.)
- Be nice to all your employees.
- Treat people with respect.
- Being invited to events would be cool.
- Don't work people to the bone just to throw them away and replace them later.
- Have common sense.
