"I love that I get to work with my favorite medium, the web. My workplace gives me great freedom in choosing the tools I want to use to do my work. I also have the freedom to suggest and even change the business requirements.All our development is done offshore. So, I don't get the opportunity to work with developers in the same room or location. I have a good rapport with the dev team but I would really love if development was moved in-house, so I could learn to code in .net or PHP."

Software Test Engineer at Google
in Kirkland, WA

"The title is something that Google put on us as we didn't fit their requirements for a Test Engineer Level 3 (they claim to not have a Level 1 or 2). I performed the duties of a Software Test Engineer and what I love about it is being the customer advocate. I get to try to improve the end user experience. What I hate is the expectation that QA should find all the defects. That's impossible."
