Pros

I had a long career at iBeta, bordering on a decade. I saw many changes, and a lot of growth in my time there. Its an impressively motivated small business: I worked with world class development studios from all over the globe: AAA titles, top of its class enterprise software: the latest and greatest in technologies - I held every title from contract tester, to lead, accounts manager, and even project management. The skills, applicable knowledge, and drive for quality that I picked up at iBeta has served me the rest of my career. I have held Director roles, helped develop world famous games, and settled in to a nice pace with a fortune 500 now. All of these things were afforded to me by my time at iBeta. I would gladly work with them in the future.

Cons

Contract work isn't for the faint of heart, however this is the nature of the vertical. I honestly can't fault a company for market trends. It is also a small company: and the salaries are on the lower end of competitive as a result. If you understand these dynamics going in, and remain driven: most of the frustration with the aforementioned is minimized.

Pros

This is an amazing company to work for. You have your voice heard, and you don't have the stuffy corporate feel. The ability to move up in the company is huge, and the environment is amazing. The people that work for iBeta are amazing people, the owner of the company is amazing. The projects are amazing. And I don't see myself working anywhere else after here.

Cons

The only con is pay. It's huge for a beginner tester, but pay has to increase to the more skilled employees.

Cons

-Heat/Cooling problems in the building. -Constant moving of work spaces. -Experience & being a permanent employee does not equate to job security -Inconsistency in work ethic and practices. -Inconsistency in pay for the same job title. -Newer employees are often promoted faster than older & more experienced employees, leaving long term loyal employees always waiting for advancement. -Absent non-proactive management: Many lazy employees promoted or moved to advancement due to exposure to a project after their superior quits rather than the employee's experience or work ethic. -Training practices have become non-existent. -Lack of HR intervention: sexist environment, male employees are open to have vulgar, perverse & inappropriate discussions on a daily basis. It is not uncommon for many long term female employees to not be promoted to lead positions over newer male employees. -Nepotism, manager's spouse quickly promoted to management over experienced candidates, relatives of company are quickly promoted to high positions.
