Pros

One of the worst places for a QA Selenium Automation Engineer to work as a contractor.

Cons

Contractors are taken for granted, and a high level of micromanaging exists.

There is no work-life balance, and it can be hard for non-Telugu speaking people to work in the automation team.

There are a few Telugu-speaking full-timers whose only aim is to make the life of contractors hell by squeezing out the best out of them.

Highly unprofessional Team Leads and Managers who are not at all technically qualified for their role.

Advice to Management

Please hire managers not merely on the basis of looking at how many years they have spent as a contractor and giving them a full-time position and making them managers. Please hire professional managers who do not make the life of contractors hell.

The current (South Indian) manager who leads the QA Selenium automation team is only interested in receiving her pay cut for each and every contractor on an hourly basis through specific consultancies. I suggest my friends that given an opportunity to work as a QA Automation Engineer (Selenium) in the San Francisco, Wells Fargo team, think again!
