Pros

My immediate supervisor and working group was decent. I loved my supervisor and felt like they really did care. Had some work friends I got along well with, was never bored, pay was better than another offer I had gotten (barely), and it was pretty close to where I lived. Decent place to start if you're a recent grad and need to gain experience, because you can learn a decent amount here. Oh, and in the summers they used to have free UDairy once a week.

Cons

I was repeatedly harassed by an older PI, who insisted that because I was a married female it was "[my] duty to give [my] parents grandchildren", and other related comments. I reported him to HR a few times and even had to text my supervisor to get me out of uncomfortable situations in the break room a few times. HR ignored it. Pay was lower than it should be and my final year there I got a less than 1% raise despite a perfect performance review and told to be grateful because the company didn't have to give us any raise at all. It felt like the company didn't like letting people take off without a ton of notice (if you already had assignments scheduled, you'd disrupt the workflow by taking off- but assignments were scheduled months in advance sometimes), overworked people, and didn't want to let me use my sick time for medical procedures I needed to have done- I was encouraged to just make up the time later that week instead. Didn't really seem to care about employee's health during the early days of the pandemic: they implemented shift work for a while but you couldn't really distance in the labs so there were several Covid-19 outbreaks. You can get promoted relatively quickly, but will not be paid what you deserve to make and benefits are pretty average. Benefits weren't the worst I've seen, but I also wouldn't classify them as generous.

Pros

Josh Clair was amazing! Josh is responsive, thourough, respectful and dedicated to finding the right job for the employee. Josh does not simply put you to work so QPS makes money, he strives to find the right fit for you and his company client. He checked on me my first day in my new role, and stayed in touch to ensure both the company and I were happy with each other and the work! My checks are complete, accurate and on time as explained to me.

Cons

I only have positive experiences so far.

Pros

They hire a lot of people so it isn't that hard to get a job here. Depending on who you are around the people can nice. The food is good but repetitive, and you will get a lot of great job experience.

Cons

The pay is terrible compared to the the rest of the industry. Turnover is terrible and you will find out why. If you do well you will get more work and responsibilities but promotions are few and far between.
