Always waiting for advancement - QA Tester iBeta Employee Review

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.

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

The work hours in the morning were chaotic. Managers came in very late in the morning. I would often wait for two hours for a certain male PM to arrive, only for us to find out we had no work anyway that day. I was let go only a few weeks before my benefits would have started. Rude and very curt coworkers. Many had extreme attitudes and made strange remarks. Lots of sexism here. Tiny, random offices that you are moved around daily into with random coworkers. You could never come in and feel completely comfortable. As others have said, definitely lots of favoritism. For the two months I was there, they fired around three people and brought on five. One of the female PMs opened up to me that they haven’t been doing well, and the vendors are drying up to do work for. Hearing that on my first month set the pace for the rest of my time there. The mood is downright depressing some days. Coworkers have been here for years and no one is motivated. Pay is only 12 per hour. Sometimes the female PM tries to cheer people up but you can tell few are happy to be working here. To top it off, people leave early and take crazy breaks. That’s expected, because the managers do as well. There’s a bad trickle of behaviors and it comes from every PM. The testers know this and have no pride to get energy from in their work. The company felt like a sinking ship when I was there, and honestly I think it was a good time to leave.
