Pros

One can learn how the gaming industry works and can get the opportunity to work on multiple gaming consoles as well as mobile . Seniors and colleagues are helpful and supportive. One who is passionate about games can get a chance to play and test different types of video games as well as mobile applications.

Cons

As the company works for offshore clients, one should be ready to work in any shift depending on the project's requirement. Depending on the project requirement sometimes one has to work more than shift hours and weekends as well.

Pros

- Great co-workers (you will really need them in this environment). - If you're a gamer, it is fun to be around apps & video games.

Cons

- Turnover, this alone tells you that there is something wrong with this company. No one stays here long. They will either quit/find a new job due to horrible culture or inability to tolerate management any longer. They get fired for unrealistic expectations from management. Or they get laid off for constant changing business focus which means little stability in job security, expectations and job titles. - Poor salary with little to no room for raise. If you are in sales your commission tends to get changed (decreased) after being there a month or two. - No work life balance. You are expected to get there before opening hours and leave well after closing hours without proper lunch/breaks. If you do not eat, sleep & breathe GlobalStep then you aren't working hard enough in the eyes of management. - Treated as less than human by US management. - Office yelling. Management does not see a problem with yelling at employees in front of other employees. This is an extremely hostile environment. -Micromanaged to the extreme. Be prepared to have someone basically looking over your shoulder.

Pros

All other testers and leads are incredibly friendly.

Cons

I highly doubt that the two positive reviews written recently were not written by employees, as I do not understand how anyone could have 0 complaints with so many glaring issues at this company. The main issue with this company is management. They give little to no communication. We find out 2 hours before the end of the day if we are working the next. They have 0 regard or care for their employees and treat them like numbers on a spreadsheet. During a slow preiod of work there were barely any projects going around for testers. During this they continued to hire more staff and gave them priority on the work neglecting their longer term employees and provided 0 communication. Some employees did not work for months. They have also been firing multiple employees without any real reason. Testers have been forced to work in roles they were not trained to do, and then fired for failing to follow that role. Some employees were not even told they were fired, they were just never asked in again, giving 0 communication until they repeatedly asked. This meant that they did not start looking for jobs for a week or two after as they assumed they still had one. Some employees who became assistant leads/leads were not given a promised pay raise for months. Almost all of management have resigned, and the new staff they hired in left after 2 months of working there. This company is a mess and its all the remaining employees talk about now.
