Shopzilla provides a fun place to work but the ratio of QA to dev is unbalanced which makes the QA workload very high. - QA Engineer Connexity Employee Review

Pros

*Learn the latest industry trends for QA *Learn many new QA technologies and frameworks *Fun place to work at times

Cons

*Industry trends implemented are not proven technologies *Each team does non-standard QA practices (makes the ramp up time for transitioning from team to team very high) *High turnover of employees *If you do not have a dev background and don't want to program do not work here *Expect QA to be heavy on automation *Expect QA to be heavy on development skills (isn't that dev's job?) *Very high workload - (8 hour days are unheard of) *Food is catered in - (industry trick to get you to take shorter lunches and increase productivity)

Pros

Endless opportunities for the self-driven and ambitious. I was lucky enough to work under a single manager, David Weinrot, who entrusted me throughout my tenure to drive countless initiatives. He represents, for me, my time with the company. I still carry with me today much of what I learned wearing the many hats he provided access to across the company. Though demanding, he was a great partner in brainstorming new ideas, driving innovation and providing support when needed. This training provided me with the launchpad I needed to, after 5 years, move onto managing an organization with a budget of $120MM that leveraged all of the skills I learned under his direction.

Cons

The company as a whole, while I was there, had a lot going on. I am sure many things have changed since then, though I suspect success will hinge on comfort with agility and change, as with any modern company.
