QA Response
7yI appreciate you taking the time to write this review. It is clear that I have an issue that I am determined to sort so that no one else feels so negatively about the QA business. Some of the specific points you have raised in this review indicate to me that our communication to you has been poor. Your expectations have not been properly set around the role you have signed up for and there is nothing more disappointing or upsetting than having your expectations not met. You are right about the possible need to relocate with our roles, the level-related pay and the £12k cost if you leave before 2 years – all of these things are elements that we should have made very very clear to you at the start and they are detailed in the contract. The role isnt for everyone, but we find that for most of our graduates the model really works because they get a first step on the career ladder, 1st class training in niche technology stacks that employers really want and the opportunity to apply these new skills on interesting and exciting client projects in some of the leading businesses across the UK. However, if you weren’t aware of these elements beforehand then I can see why it would concern you.
Your review indicates that you still work for QA, as such I really urge you to get in touch with me directly on some of the points you have made. I want to ensure that the issues you highlighted in this review are resolved. You can reach me on stuart.martin@qa.com
