Bethesda Hiring

  • Comment
Matt "GStaff" Grandstaff, community manager over at Bethesda, wanted to let you all know that Bethesda have opened up positions for QA testers. Here's the blurb:

We’re hiring for testers in our Quality Assurance department! We tend to favor candidates with programming experience but most importantly, we want people who are fans of our games.Why would you want to work in our QA dept? I’ll give you two reasons.

1. We use our QA testers as interns throughout the year. These interns are typically among our top testers, and they sit with the development team, attend meetings, and work on our games directly. So if you kick major ass as a tester here, there is a good chance you’ll be a candidate for one of those intern slots.

2. When we have a job opening on the development team, we look internally first to fill them, so our QA dept gets an inside advantage.


So if you're looking for your break in the gaming industry and think you fit the bill I'd recommend checking out the jobs page at Bethesda for more information.

    Very very very unlikely that you can test a console game from your home. The 360 development kits cost nearly $10,000 US each and they would never buy one just for you to use out of your home. PC testing however might be a different story.

    Overall almost all game QA jobs I've seen require to you be at the office.

    Thanks for the reply, have a kudo

    Just be prepared to live off $10/hr. That was rough back in my testing days a few years ago.

    Are they talking about a regular 9-5 come into a office type job or work from your home thing.
    Seems like you would have to live in Maryland right?

    I have a great job but would love to be a part time game tester.
