Pros
- Remote processes are tuned well; - Even though I had my own project I felt connected to Modus as a company overall; - Decent salary; - I was lucky with the client and team, it was always fun and smooth. Zero pressure;
Cons
- No career path. Asked about how can I contribute more, what can I do to grow, the answer is vague, like try blog posts; - Getting salary raise is almost impossible. I had to go through a lot to get it and they were trying to ignore me for the most part; I talked to quite a few engineers, they confirmed that they are in the same situation; - Hired me as QA Automation and still asked me to do manual regression for almost all duration of my work there(4 years). Even though they hired additional manual QAs. When I finally said no - I was fired; It was a pretty nasty situation since I believe there might be better communication about terminating my contract; There was neither serious talk that the client is not happy with my position nor offer to transfer me to another project with no manual work; I suspect client didn't see much value in automation as well, which I can understand; - Can terminate contract unceremoniously, with 0 days notice(check contract before signing), which they did to me(look above why); They did the same for one of my colleagues before for different reason;
