Re-orgs and QA Leadership
Sr. QA Engineer • Former Employee
Los Angeles, California, United States
May 15, 2023
Pros: Good Engineering Team and WLB
Cons: Too Many Re-orgs. In my short tenure, there were constant changes and no stability.
No clear direction on what your job entails from QA leadership. No thoughtfulness around who to hire in what position.
They laid off tons of minorities in the last layoff. From my team, only minority women were laid off.
