Very Happy - Anonymous employee Testing Circle Employee Review

Location of office Fantastic if you're management i'm sure After work and lunch time drinks were great

Everything except the above. Absolutely shocking company to work for. Unless you're going in as a Director (and chances are, you wont even be needed) then I really wouldn't bother, ESPECIALLY if you end up working back office. If you're not making money, or not making enough in their eyes, you may as well be invisible. My favourite part is they know how awful Testing Circle is, so they've completely forgotten about that and it's employee's, and now put all their time and effort in to Sparta Global, which is getting fantastic reviews but has the same horrific managers running it. You don't get the wages you deserve, asking for any extra tools or training to help you with your role is a complete waste of time, and the lack of people management skills is very apparent. God forbid the day you need a day off sick or want to take a holiday day without feeling guilty for it, no benefits unless you're making mega bucks, and no step up for anyone really. I could go on and on and on, but this company made me certain in my mind that I never wanted to work for a recruitment agency ever again - so thank you Testing Circle, I suppose!

Joined after leaving university - throught the company graduate Academy programme. The three months training in the Academy based in Richmond was very up to date. Trainers are really friendly and had lots of practical experience, as many are recent ex contractors in SDET or Development. Training on the SDET course was excellent Recently started working on interesting project in a large Government project Testing Circle has recently won a lot of new projects in the Government sector so it is a good time to join the company Good way to get your first role in testing after leaving university as the training was provided for free. However you do have to provide a two year commitment to Testing Circle for this 3 months free training Company seems to be growing at a rapid rate as they now have over 100 IT consultants working for them.

Had to wait two month before my first assignment. However the Academy team did keep in contact during this time to update me the status of opportunities More social events and contacts with Test Consultants based on client site
