Pros

-Friendly teams - The team I got brought into is pretty friendly, ESPECIALLY the higher-ups. They are actually really nice and do what they can to help and don't look down on you which is amazing. - RECOGNITION FOR TOUGH WORK! - When working overtime and working on a tough project, I found that it definitely does not go unnoticed and they actually appreciate your efforts. - very positive recruitment process thanks to Aica Raffi! Shes super friendly and explains the whole process thoroughly. She also makes you feel very comfortable as some times it can be initmidating..shes the opposite! - Free food when there are occasions in the office! This is a bonus. - Free parking when on site! - although there are limited parking spaces, there are free spots for Star Compliance employees which is brilliant. - Universe of learning tools! - there are a number of tools that can be used to learn new things. especially a website called Plurasight which can be great to learn new things from and grow as a QA.

Cons

- Really high-pressure and fast-paced environment... at times it can feel overbearing BUT there are always people you can reach out to. - Some of the benefits could be better. e.g. last I asked, I was told when you need new glasses they only provide £10 towards it

Pros

- Long term direction & c-suite leadership making right decisions - Great early career experience working with a series of ross-functional and international teams - Lots of exposure to both higher-level business strategy and technical concepts if you're willing to look for it

Cons

- Occasional conflict between stuck-in-their-ways middle management & senior leadership that results in mixed signals for most employees. - Mountains of tech debt - Client retention is very high because product is very difficult to off-board. Led to large numbers of unsatisfied customers reaching out to an already struggling client services department. - Product/Industry comes with a very high learning curve. Employees had a fairly high turnover rate. This led to problems with spending tons of time to train employees only for them to leave shortly after they became self-sufficient. Over time, employees felt less incentivized to train incoming employees and compounded the problem. Huge drain on morale. - No formal internal training - Continued selling products to clients that straight up did not work (political contributions search) and punting the problem to the CS team to deal with the fallout. - No QA team - Limited opportunities for career growth within StarCompliance
