A place where you can make an impact! - QA Engineer November Five Employee Review

November Five is a energetic company led by young and passionate people. It's a place where you will have a chance to be challenged with interesting projects and at the same time learn a lot. What I really like about November Five is the human aspect that today can be rarely found by other companies. Being human means that at November Five people will listen to you if you have something to say, help you if help is needed, grow and develop you if you show passion and most importantly treat you as a human. If you show passion and commitment, November Five is a company that will recognize that and proactively reward you. And if things at a certain point don't go so great, November Five is a company that will explore together with you new opportunities and positions where you might fit within the company. Next to things like the cool office, healthy lunch, smartphone, MacBook laptop, company car etc. it's the small things that separate November Five from other companies. Small things like your manager coming over and giving you a tap on the back and asking you how is your day going, asking you and showing sincere interest in how your weekend was, remembering and celebrating important moments in your life... just being HUMAN. And that's exactly why you will call November Five your home.

From my experience as freelancer they have a very entrepreneurial culture and their headquarters really show this. Apart from the free meal prepared by the chef everyday they have healthy food available for all employees. The care for their employees can be seen in the high quality cutlery, plates and glasses but also the cleanliness of the workplace including the toilets and hand soap. This might sound trivial but this to me is usually a strong indicator of employee care. As far as the work goes, I worked on a legacy project with several new features to be worked and improved upon. As I was a subcontractor for November Five they provided very good support to both their client and me. Although a legacy project, I personally found the work very enjoyable and useful for my CV. If I had questions about invoicing or personal matters they were always quick to respond and help. All in all, if you are pragmatic and entrepreneurial then November Five is a company I would definitely recommend to work with.

Introverts or people who need a lot of guidance might have a harder time finding their way. Internal libraries and tools might come with a learning curve.
