Pros

Pay is decent. Work from home. The company is doing well.

Cons

They put one QE on each team or multiple teams, making it very difficult to take days off. Features grow exponentially, and QE resources get split to work on new teams. The technical bar is very low, and most time is wasted on manual tasks and managing manual testers. There's no time to work on actual work, as they are constantly bothered by random tasks and problems that devs and PMs don't want to work on.

Advice to Management

Hire more QE. Someone goes on leave or moves teams, and they don't get replaced.

This results in more work for everyone else.
