Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Andy at Washington Mutual and I was lucky enough to hire Andy as a test lead at Premera Blue Cross, where he was promoted to QA Manager at the first opportunity. Andy has a clear passion for quality. What makes him stand out, though, are his abilities to communicate very effectively, collaborate across multiple teams and departments, his natural leadership style and his ability to stay calm in the midst of chaos. Add that to this flexibility and capacity to deal with change and his desire to grow and learn, and you begin to understand what a great asset Andy is to any team and organization!" and "Andy Reid possesses all the qualities of a lead SDET: team leadership experience, effective communication skills, good humor, and deep technical knowledge. I've known Andy for more than 8 years, having worked with him at Washington Mutual, where he was quickly promoted from QA engineer to QA lead/manager. On one project, Andy's ability to communicate QA processes to coworkers, clients, and managers in clear terms and to organize a team of QA engineers from remote locations resulted in a final product that was not only bug-free, but also exceeded the original business requirements."
