Pros
No micromanaging. No problematic team members. Company doesn’t have a “dude bro” culture (e.g big tech companies that make you do ice breaker activities during meetings). Testing won’t be the only thing in your repertoire, so you’ll have additional experience in various hardware/software you’ll be able to add in your resume. You’ll only “have a talk” with management if you really deserve it (in my case, arriving a minute or 2 late every day for about a week straight). Management understands this a very entry level job and want the best for you, so there won’t be any bad blood should you find a better opportunity. Everyone is very straight forward, they understand you’re here to work so they won’t put on a “we’re more like a family here” facade.
Cons
Work comes in waves as mentioned in other reviews, so take advantage of your downtime and take some courses (Udemy, Coursera, etc.) that you’re interested in. Certain projects can have very repetitive tasks so sometimes, you’ll do the same exact tests on different hardware for up to weeks at a time. Pay is nowhere near a livable wage in the Bay Area, so make the best of your situation by studying courses as mentioned above and getting certifications to make your resume pretty and get a better tech job.
