Pros

Entry-level job, pretty easy to get in. The organization is well-structured, there are possibilities for promotion. The leadership was helpful and competent.

Cons

The salary is barely enough to make rent and food. You cannot have ANY personal expenses as a full-time worker. Promotions are given based on time spent with the company and not performance. The environment is very toxic among testers. Every issue I had was solved by my team leaders very quickly, but nothing is done to change this environment.

Advice to Management

Increase salaries to match living costs. The job is full-time but it requires employees to live with family to have any spending power. Rent took 75-80% of my salary and the rest was left for everything else.
