Low salary, not equal salary for the same role. Not a flexible company

Pros

A start-up company, so you may have the chance to make a career. But even if you have a good experience and CV, it depends on the managers to accept your application. Sometimes it's not fair at all.

Cons
  • Different salaries for the same role. Even if you have more experience than your colleagues, they can earn more money than you for the same position. I don't understand why the company has this system.

  • The salary does not match the Ireland average salary for a QA position. At least you should get a decent salary or the average wage in Ireland, no less. As the QA position is not an entry-level role, if you come from a vendor as a reviewer or moderator, you might be happy with the salary offered. However, if you have a senior role or another role in your current company, you might not be happy with the salary the interviewer offers.

  • There is no salary adjustment after you become senior in your role. At least everyone who is senior in the same role should receive the same amount of money. For example, if your colleague with the same experience as you gets 38k and you get 30k, and you both had the same interview, at least after you become senior or after 1 year working in the role, the company should adjust the salary for everyone to receive the same amount in the same role.

  • The company is not flexible; they prefer a micromanagement style. They have adopted a lot of the vendors' style, as most people in management came from vendors. They use an app to control what you are doing during the day and how many hours you spend on your computer working.

  • Basic benefits, like other small companies.

  • Some videos are very gross and sad. After 9 hours in the office and using 8 hours to check videos, your brain gets burned.

  • No food or canteen offered currently.

Advice to Management

Forget about vendor styles and micromanagement. As you can see, everyone is doing the job properly. And be more fair with salaries; it's not nice to know that we have different salaries for the same job.
