"I actually enjoy Performance Testing. I enjoy the challenge of scripting and finding the limits of various environments. It is also interesting to see how one configuration compares to the next, whether performance has increased or decreased. My findings are very helpful for people in marketing all the way up to those who manage production environments. The one downside is that Performance Testing can become somewhat repetitive and predictable. All in all, I feel good about what I do."

QA Engineer at Xoom
in San Francisco, CA

"Love: Creatively coming up with ways to test brands, being involved in the iteration cycle from beginning to end and developing knowledge that could lead to Production or Project management. Hate: Not getting the respect QA deserves, not being considered a valued part of the team or process, the ability to be let go at any moment's notice."

QA Engineer at Aeria Games
in Santa Clarita, CA

"Aeria Games and Entertainment is a good company to work at. It is a good place to learn new things, and gather a lot of interesting information valuable for your future career. One of the minuses was low pay rate, which is never going to be higher in spite of any number of years of experience you have."

QA Engineer at Pace American

"Making decisions on the quality of the products that our customers see and knowing that their experience is really what your work is enabling is the love. The thing that is not so great about QA is that we are not able have much say in the deliverables and planning process."

QA Engineer at Identity One Group
in Atlanta, GA

"When I started off as a QA engineer, I was off into a good momentum. However, I disliked how the direction of the company's QA projects were shifting to a point, where I had to be re-positioned into another line of work. I occasionally tried to follow up, but I had to focus on performing other duties outside the QA projects. I only wished that I maintained the same QA position for more than 6 months."

QA Engineer at CompassLearning
in Austin, TX

"I love almost everything about QA Engineering, I would rather start with what I do not particularly like. 1. Not knowing enough java script to advance into dev! :)2. I believe the environment and the people you work with have a great impact on how you enjoy your QA experience."
