QualityLogic

Note: This review is a reflection of the time I spent at Qualitylogic. Changes may have occurred at the company since I've left. 

You will be manually testing software all day. Here's what that means: Manual testing is the process of testing software without the aid of tools, scripts or software. You will be putting an app through its motions from beginning to end. All steps will be recorded (Tap on app, Login, etc.) via reports / spreadsheets. You may gain some writing experience from this. Your attention to detail will improve. 

You may end up shifting gears throughout a lot depending on the needs of the clients. 

Incredibly boring for the most part. Some of the software can be fun to test, but when you use it hundreds of times a day it gets old fast.

I started off as a temporary employee. Temporary employees don't receive any of the benefits offered by the company and pay is slightly less than regular employees. Company is a revolving door with people coming and going frequently. Don't expect to make any life long connections. Workplace culture isn't really a thing. 

Management may placate clients by having us ( employees + managers) take the blame for mistakes made by the client. You just have to suck it up and do whatever the client wants. (This is true of many jobs that require some degree of customer service.)

They have a policy (as is common in many companies now) of only providing dates of employment (verification of employment). If you want an actual substantive reference to provide to potential employers that you are interviewing with, you won't get one. When I asked my team lead for one he directed me to HR which gave me the standard "we only provide dates of employment" response. Not exactly great for your future employment prospects. 

Work is not always steady. You may get 40 hours or you may get more / less depending on the week / project. 

TL;DR: It's a job. That's it. A bare-bones experience from start to finish.

Typically I worked or work eight hours a day from 8:30AM-4:30PM if work is available.
The work entails real life QA testing of firmware and hardware on client manufacturers' designated devices, as described, using guided test plans or, in some cases, self designed test plans in workbook spreadsheets. The object of the testing being the spotting of any defects and reporting them in a timely fashion, noting in as much detail as possible, how the defect occurred and detailing the steps used to cause the defect to appear, with the intentions for the clients' developing engineers to be able to recreate it.
This work trained me to hone my ability to zero in on little details even more.
The management team is great. The project manager that hired me was very thorough in setting my expectations for the work being provided and how the whole contract based business works.
I was and am very happy to be associated with this employer. Quality Logic, Inc. and all the employees there are pleasant to work with.
There are multiple test labs/groups co-existing in a single open floor layout and the teams are concurrently working on different clients' contracts. It can be distracting for some of the other teams when the projects I have worked on are in full swing. This is namely because there can be many devices in test at one time producing distracting noises for the other teams.
The hardest part of the job is having to say goodbye after twelve months when the agreed upon year is over or less than a year when a contract gets suspended or ends abruptly.
The greatest aspect of working at QL, Inc. is that doing a good job means you get acknowledged and also get a call back when more work is available.  Employees are hired because of their abilities and are for the most part self managed because all of us are trusted to perform the assigned tasks with minimal supervision.

Working as a QA Test Technician, I was curious to learn more about the ins and outs of mobile applications and how they work. 

A normal day at work consists of getting in at 8:00am (reasonable considering we work alongside offices in several other time zones), setting up for the day with a handful of mobile devices or otherwise, and running through the various functions of whatever application is to be tested that day. The functions tested vary based on need, and became repetitive after a few months. 

Management is personable and not overbearing, and realize that their employees are people as well as resources. To give one example, weekend Overtime was occasionally necessary during large feature releases. Lunches were paid for for those employees who spent their weekend in the office instead of elsewhere.

As a Test Technician, there was not a lot of room to move up in the company. For the projects I worked on, 3-4 Project Leads oversaw anywhere from 15-20 Technicians. One Project Manager oversaw all of those employees. Most movement within the company was lateral.

I learned a good deal during the first few months and sporadically afterward, though the work did become repetitive (as any Quality Assurance work naturally would). New projects rolled in at a steady rate during my time there, which did help to keep things fresh.

As a final note, the employer-offered benefits were a plus. Health insurance, dental, vision and some Life insurance were all offered at reasonable rates after a 90-day probationary period. Paid Time Off is also offered after that period and accrued per hour.

The employees are enjoyable to work with and the management usually works with you, not against you.  I was given the ability to grow as a test technician in a very self motivated environment.  The culture is generally relaxed.  As with all testing, there is a level of dedication that is needed to execute tasks repeatedly and QualityLogic is no different.  The Management is generally willing to work with me on any personal or life issues that I needed to take care of.  

The hardest part of the job is the tedium of testing, the lack of resources that can be available for any given project, and the lack of consistent work.  There is a strict level of adherence to record keeping that can sometimes be difficult to get right 100% of the time, even for experienced SQA testers.

The most enjoyable pat of working for QualityLogic is that you will be recognized for your hard work, the ability to be a little more social than normal (there is a great geek culture there), and the overall relaxed environment.

I was always given the opportunity to learn something new and you get to work on multitudes of various real life devices, software, hardware, and websites.

Even on dull days, I am happy to have this job.

The work is challenging, yet still fun - this is the place to work if you enjoy problem solving. If you don’t know the answer, you can easily find someone to help you work through it AND explain it so you know for the future. You can find people with various amounts of technical backgrounds here, but we are all people who enjoy thinking though the problems we find. The work environment is what makes this job the best I’ve ever had.

I won’t say it’s perfect here, but the pros heavily outweigh the cons. The company used to rely mostly on large-scale projects, which made job-security a little iffy if they were to end. However that has changed and it mostly focuses on smaller team engagements now. I personally like the change because it provides so many more opportunities to grow and stand out. Instead of getting lost in the crowd of people all doing the same thing as you, it’s easier to shine and get immersed in a project where you are counted on for its success.

As a Project Lead at this company, I enjoy being able to work with a variety of clients whose products each present unique issues and challenges to overcome. New opportunities for learning are readily available. If you’re willing to put the effort in, you won’t regret it.

Working at QualityLogic has been an absolute pleasure. The work itself is incredibly rewarding, there are ample opportunities for advancement due to the growth of the company, and above all, the people there make it a place worth coming to every day.

I am someone who fundamentally loves to be challenged and to learn something new every day. Maybe it's the fact that we're in an incredibly technical space, but QualityLogic affords that to me. I feel like there's always something new to do and learn, and there's great bandwidth given to allow me to challenge myself and grow. I feel like my ideas are also appreciated and I'm definitely given the platform for creating positive change within the company.

Lastly, and I think this is the biggest thing: I haven't really felt like I've worked a single day since being here. I've been with the company for a few years now and, between the work and the people, working here has been an absolute pleasure.

     Overall I enjoyed working for QualityLogic; it was a great work experience!
     The hours were good, the pay was reasonable and management worked with me most of the time when I needed to take time off.  I started in a temporary position as an entry level test technician and worked up to being a project lead.  Over the 6 years I worked there I only ran into issues with a few employees here and there, and every time there were issues management worked with both of us to resolve them.  The issues were things like disagreements on how to accomplish tasks, [mis]perceived offenses, etc.
     I learned a lot about software development, both from the QA perspective and from the developer perspective, as I was a part of many meetings with our customers.
     There is always room for improvement, but one of the main areas I felt could use improvement was giving timely feedback to employees about performance.  Management would always give feedback if requested, but it would have been nice for annual and/or semi-annual feedback to be included as part of the normal routine.

Honestly, very surprised to find a blessing of a team to work for. Found them here on Indeed. Haven't had the feeling like I'm undervalued. On the contrary, having a good relationship between employees seems to be the reason this company is continuing to see growth. Looking forward to serving the team for as long as I'm needed.

I have greatly enjoyed my time with QualityLogic. 
My days generally consist of client interaction, delegating tasks, and assisting in software testing.
I came to QualityLogic with almost no prior knowledge of QA, started as a Tester, and worked up to Lead. Management was extremely supportive, and there was always someone available to answer any questions I had, be them from a Tester point of view, or a Lead. 
The workplace culture is one of the best I have ever been a part of. We are all treated like people, not assets. 
The hardest part of the job would likely be learning all of the processes of QA, but during that process, you are fully supported, and never made to feel ignorant or slow.
The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to work with name brands that you see in your day to day life, and seeing the work you've done make it's way to production with those companies.
Overall, I highly recommend this workplace.

I've worked at QualityLogic for less than a year and have found it to be an incredibly innovative company. Not only do we test projects and programs for some of the biggest companies in the world, we also have a division dedicated to providing test tools for smart energy companies across the world. The engineering and testing skills that have created this are inspiring!

The company culture is what I would expect from engineers - there's a lot of heads-down and work-hard mentality. Yes, we work in a software field, but don't come in expecting ping-pong tables and microbrews. It's not that type of environment - yet anyway. However, in the time I've been there, I've also seen incredible support from team members toward each other and a lot of back and forth sharing of ideas. 

I've worked at a lot of companies in my 20-year career and QualityLogic ranks in the top 1%. If you're considering a change, definitely add this company to your list.
