Answer from AI

When looking for a job in QA/QA Automation, I pay attention to the following 'red flags':

  • Lack of a clear technical assignment or description of testing processes.
  • Vague or contradictory requirements for the position (for example, a very broad range of responsibilities without specialization).
  • Lack of transparency in communication with HR or managers — delays in responses, evasive answers.
  • Very low or unreasonably high salary compared to the market.
  • Lack of opportunities for professional growth and training.
  • Poor company reputation (employee reviews, reviews on platforms like Glassdoor).
  • Absence of a test assignment or a very complex/meaningless test task.
  • Inadequate attitude towards work-life balance (for example, constant overtime without compensation).

I pay attention to these points to avoid uncomfortable conditions and ineffective work.
