I received a call from a job agent and managed to get an interview and succeeded.
GCSE in English and a passion for games help.
We receive bug reports and we have to play a game to check them out. Afterward we need to regress the bugs when a new version of the game comes out.
What was your best day at work?
My team had just finished a game and we merged with another team. A deathmatch was part of our testing procedures and the newbies, us, whipped the team who had been testing the game for ages.
What was your worst day at work?
When I got laid off due to the company performing very badly the previous quarter.
Are there any perks to your job?
Free soft drinks. I worked the evening shift so everyone in the office got a free dinner.
What do you like about your job?
You get to hang out with like minded people and play games.
What don’t you like about your job?
It can get really repetitive.
Personal Comments
You need a lot of patience and a keen eye to spot bugs. Although playing the game is still testing, they kept a close eye on how many bugs you were finding.
Would you recommend this job to someone else?:
Yes
