I am immediately suspicious of companies that in one breath brag about how great a workplace they are and then, in the next, make it clear that they are only being transparent about salary because they are legally required to in NY, CO, or CA. Honestly, it's fucking laughable.
Seems like a pretty straightforward onboarding role, with the usual startup suspects ("fun" team, fast-paced environment, adapt to change/challenges, let's do the time warp again). Nothing too concerning, and the pay is good for an early-career gig.
The main ones: Fast-paced environment, rapidly changing requirements, poorly-edited JD requires attention to detail, JD doesn't mention benefits at all, and salary for leadership roles is good but not for frontline roles.
The role itself seems fine, but the salary range is very wide, and the low end is way too low for a Lead role (especially at a company like Netflix). I don't think that's enough to put it in Tread Carefully, but I would ask about it if I were a candidate.
This one is reader-submitted, and y'all. We're whipping out "unclear if you're joining a cult or a company" for maybe the first time ever, and I HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED AT A JOB LISTING YET.
Let's review: this is a lead role for managing multi-channel support agents, offering frontline support yourself, and executing duties that should be undertaken by a possibly fictional Director. For $20-$25 in Oakland, CA. Talk about some branding!
I mean, I certainly dreamt of going to school for 4-6 years and earning a technical degree and THEN WORKING FOR ANOTHER 4+ YEARS to make $25 an hour for a company that won't even deign to give me a title that reflects the level of work I'm doing. WHERE DO I SIGN UP.
I really, really hate when the salary is good for leadership roles but poor for frontline roles. The salary is especially egregious considering that it's billed as a technical role, with fluency in Spanish or Portuguese as a nice-to-have. I literally booed when I read that.
Oof, let this be a lesson to me not to finalize my notes before I look at everything. The job description is harmless enough, but the real hints at culture and work environment are in the job application.
I give them points for pay transparency, but deduct equal points for $18-$20/hr. That's shitty pay for someone with 5 years experience in "providing high-touch patient experience."
A bilingual candidate with a bachelor's degree in computer science and technical expertise in cloud applications, mobile computing, and hardware device troubleshooting should not be making $35,403 to $59,500. I mean, come the fuck on.
I have many concerns. That the title of the role doesn't match the title in the job description. The ridiculous salary. That the company has no Careers page and the role is only listed on LinkedIn. The stability/longevity of a company staking money on other people playing video games.
