FAQs for Job Applicants
Q: What is Testronic Labs ?
A: We are a provider of quality assurance services, principally in the multimedia area. We work with the foremost film studios and games publishers, and help companies from all sectors develop and maintain world class websites and e-commerce solutions. In addition software developers, educational publishers and consumer electronics manufacturers all look to Testronic Labs for a reliable source of quality assurance and testing. In our labs across the world right now, people are testing movies, video games, software and websites. We make sure those products work properly, look and sound right for different markets, cultures and languages and are the best that they can be before they reach consumers. We’re growing and diversifying at speed in the dynamic digital multimedia space, and we are recruiting!
Q: Does that mean I can get paid for playing games all day and telling you if I liked it or not?
A: Not really. For example, as a games tester, your job is to play a specific part of a game (according to a test plan provided by your Coordinator), find “bugs” (errors in how the game works or what the text says) and report them (describe that error and where you found it, so that developer can recreate it and fix it). You don’t need to be an expert at playing games to test, though enjoying it might help – it’s not difficult, and we’ll teach you all about it!
Q: What sort of jobs are available at Testronic Labs?
A: We regularly recruit testers for our Games QA and Home Entertainment labs on various types of contract. Language specialists are often needed, and more broadly we also recruit QA professionals as Consultants, people with Software Testing experience to carry out projects, as well as the usual array of businesspeople and office staff to help run our international operation.
Q: I have my own console and PC. Can I test your games from home?
A: No. We primarily work on projects in the early stages of development which can only be handled in our high-security locations.
Q: What are the benefits of working for the company?
A: Testronic Labs’ employee policies vary by territory but, wherever you are in the world, we pride ourselves on being a considerate employer offering an enviable package of benefits. In the UK, for example, as well as competitive rates of pay and two great locations in which to work all permanent employees are entitled to join the company pension scheme, receive private medical insurance, group life assurance and 25 days annual leave per annum and use a free shuttle bus service to our Pinewood facility. Our newsletters are always packed with tales of the interesting things that our teams get up to socially, with recent excursions including paintballing at the US office, go-karting and karaoke in Europe and a forthcoming Thames cruise in London! At all of our global locations, you’d be joining dynamic teams in a fast-moving industry, and you’d be sure of a warm welcome.
Q: I don’t speak another language, but want to be a tester. How do I do it?
A: We have non-linguistic testers in both the Games and Home Entertainment divisions, so you can indulge your passions for gaming and films as part of those teams. The vacancies come up less frequently, but keep checking the Careers section of the site for notification.
Q: I’m applying for a QA Localisation Technician role – how good do my language skills need to be?
A: Our QA Localisation Technicians are experts in both English and the language they were recruited to test – we set the highest standards for our Games QA and Localisation, so the skills have to match. You’ll sit a test in the language and will need to be fluent to pass – these high benchmarks are what reassure our clients and embed quality in what we do.
Q: Where are your offices?
A: Across various global locations – Pinewood Studios and Central London in the UK, Diepenbeek in Belgium, near Warsaw in Poland, Tokyo in Japan and Burbank, California, in the USA
