Pros
1. Convenient office location in the center of Tallinn 2. English language courses
Cons
-No growth opportunities -Lack of trust (many tasks are inaccessible to the team entirely), and QA is not involved in meetings about new features during the development stage -Weak interaction within the QA team; the team often learns about important details of new or changed functionality last, or even after testing or environment preparation has already been done -Lack of respect for the QA team’s work -Familiarity, violation of professional boundaries, and use of obscene language -Strict time tracking down to the minute — even 1–2 minute delays are unacceptable; a “clock-in, clock-out” factory-like approach -Remote work is not approved (“no one works on remote” — according to the lead) -Low competence of people in leadership positions; -imposed training with mandatory reporting via presentations -Initiative is encouraged in theory but discouraged in practice -Team members are involved in testing merchandise -Proposal to switch to a dedicated merchandise testing role (if for QA position is not valued or there is no work) was rejected — instead, it is expected to be combined with QA tasks -Personal remarks and demonstration of personal bases
