You will find details of my experiences with Focus, as well as many many more details from many other MTs/QA people who had similar experiences.

Job Board - Focus Infomatics
This company runs an advertisement twice a month.  I took the test a few weeks ago and then got an Email that I didn't meet their scoring requirements and to try again in 2 months.  The test(s) I took were not hard but the typing test was a pain because I couldn't use the foot pedal.  Don't these companies take into consideration how time consuming it is for US to take these tests?  I also found out that you will not be considered for a position if you do not take the test within 72 hours of receiving it or......you accidentally leave your PC on while taking the test and get timed out.  LOL - That's probably why they are STILL looking for MTs.  Get real Focus.
That is what you type in search? TIA

If you use the Google search box and type in UST
making sure the MTStars button is clicked, it will bring up a ton of responses on this company.
You can go to mtjobs.com and search by work type. nm

Just type in 'precyse' on the regular search box
I find that I have better results when using the MTStars search box as opposed to the 'google' box.

I worked for Precyse in the past and was not happy there. I also have a friend who worked there in QA - she left also.
I did a search on here for Silent Type, Inc. and couldn't find anything (sm)..
Anyone know anything about them?
do a search for them on this board
just to the right of Post a New Message.  About the only negative post was that they run low on work, but that could be said about almost every company.  Good luck.
to search the board: How much would that be? nm

Do a thorough search of this board....
bad, bad, bad, bad, bad!!!!!
I'd so a search on them on the board
and see how they treated their previous loyal employees. They can turn on you at anytime. Tread carefully. They seem wonderful and terrific on the outside, but.....

In all fairness, their pay is always on time and correct.
You should do a search of this board...

JLG has had a lot of trouble of late.  They discontinued direct deposit and then have been late paying their MTs.  Recently, they just fired their entire SR team without offering them MT positions, saying they didn't have anything to offer and yet they are advertising for MTs and you are considering them.  So why not fill openings with people already on board?


Where there's smoke, there's fire.  Too many red flags in the last two months or so.  I would pass JLG up if I were you.


Do a search of the board. I was going
after reading the negatives.  I didn't find anything negative about pay but there are consistent negative posts about QA issues and disorganization that go back quite a while if you do a search. 
Type in "Interpro" on a search here and you'll see the vast majority of comments

Search this board and MT Stars
some posts about them not long ago.  Don't remember it being good, but then don't remember much any more.
Search the board. This has been brought up before, and
a list was devised.
search the job seek board
seems kind of obvious to me
Looks like mostly 'con' from a board search. nm

about Chronicle.  My own experience was:  I HATED the platform (Apex).  It's an antiquated piece of junk that is slower than molasses in January and I couldn't make any money.  QA can be moody and the rules on the account change often - hard to keep up with all the formatting junk.  The owner is nice.  The office staff is nice.  Tech support is so-so as far as helpfulness.  I did not like that I had to stop all Java updates and go back to an older version of Java, which really slowed my system down.  Pay was on time and direct deposit.  The account was okay, it was clinic and good cents per line, but there were a lot of cherrypickers who would scoop out the good reports and leave the junk for other people.  I think Chronicle may have another platform besides Apex, but I am not familiar with it - you can always ask them.
HELPFUL SEARCH TIP: in Google window type exactly: "MD-IT" site:www.mtstars.com...
someone i know is a super hacker for websites and knows how to search for info. it will pull up all statements that have ever been posted about MD-IT but you must type it just as i have posted.

Reply to "Focus Frustrated"
I got 1 check from them .... only for their 5 reports per day during the 1-week review period. Which equals 25 reports and I got @ $50 !!!!
How sick is that ! They are getting slave labor...but I quit after a very short time with them, because I know I deserve to be paid better for my espertise and skills... and so do you I'm sure. I haven't acquired other employment as yet. But I have learned some good lessons in the brief time I was with Focus. What a crappy outfit !

Start reading. This is an Indian based company. There were recent posts over the past few days about this company.
I think someone on the Main Board had this problem a short time ago. Maybe a search there will show

I guess you live in a vacuum! Search this board, for crying outloud! SM

A couple of weeks ago there were several former JLG employees posting how they were fired from doing SR and were not even offered MT positions!  I'm not trying to hide anything and I don't appreciate you insinuating I'm a liar!
