Accelerate PaaS - Anonymous employee Liferay Employee Review

Good work environment, friendly coworkers, good benefits

Salary raises always promised next year, rarely given

Been a while since I was there. But it was legitimately an amazing culture. I feel like this being my first job set the bar really high for what a work culture could be like. Christmas gifts. Summer Fridays. Team game sessions. It was awesome. And the people there were really friendly. They also gave bonuses for good performance, which from my experience weren’t hard to get. Starting as a Tester, it wasn’t hard to move up if you showed promise. The work was challenging enough to let you grow without overwhelming you. And it was easy to move up if you proved yourself.

Low pay starting out as a Tester. Like a few dollars above what I could have been making at a McDonald’s. They brought in young and inexperienced people though so we weren’t as concerned as we should have been. This was pretty much solely for complete beginners in the field. And the pay really reflected that. But even if you proved you could do the work and do it well, the pay ceiling was still painfully low. The pay pretty much was the only thing that stopped this from being the perfect job in my experience. Then they let go of almost all of QA one day. From what I hear it’s an entirely different company now.
