Here is what people who joined as Junior QA Specialists want to share with you:
I joined scandiweb 3 years ago, and since then I have grown from a Junior QA to a QA Community Lead. When I started my journey with scandiweb, I was surprised that the company provides education before joining a real project. My first project was simple but my biggest challenge was when I was an API QA for a very complex project. With the little experience I had but with the massive support of the team, the project was a success.
Ilona Smatko, QA Specialist from Latvia.
The most significant lesson from my early days at scandiweb which continues to inspire my approach is the power of curiosity and adaptability. No challenge is too big and there is always a solution waiting to be discovered. This mindset has driven my career and is a constant in my day-to-day responsibilities.
