Technical Support Representative
I'm on the fence about Drata's "rules" – on the one hand I appreciate the rules are highly visible and clear. But there are also more elements of toxic startup philosophy than I am personally comfortable with.
The job won Bad Job Bingo. Welp.

If you've been taking a shot every time they exclaim you should be energized by something, you are already drunk and we haven't even gotten out of the introduction.
Again, such efficiency at getting to BINGO! Also, after all those super-specific requirements, "must have ethics" is sincerely hilarious.
So many flags in a single sentence! I appreciate their commitment to an efficient Bad Job Bingo game.
Pay is shit, especially for onsite in LA, especially for a multi-lingual role.
I think Snap might be the first company since I've started doing Bad Job Bingo to actually mention anything about wellness for Trust & Safety team members, so it has that going for it. Unfortunately, it also has enough flags that it hits BINGO.
Honestly, this job description is a mess. Repeated paragraphs and sections, overly business-speaky, and poorly edited and formatted.
This is not an Analyst role. Also, no mention of benefits anywhere in the JD or on the Careers page.
So...AI wrote this job description, and no one proofread / edited it? Cool.
The salary range is interesting, to say the least – the low side is way too low, and I don't trust that the high side is actually on the table.
Okay, for starters, none (save one) of the duties listed in this JD are Lead-level duties. They clearly want a discount Director/VP of Support. (And at $70k-$150k, we're talking a *real* discount.)
My first thought when looking at this company's Careers page was: "My god, they desperately need a middle-aged manager to decline their screentime requests an hour before bedtime."
Ah, so they want a discount manager. Cooooool.
Every time they talk about how fun they are, another venture capitalist gets a little red flag pocket square.
I'm extremely confused. Maybe they posted the wrong job description under this job title?
Company overall seems obsessed with "critical thinking" as an attribute, which makes me picture an office where people are, like, constantly running into closed doors. "Bob, Bob! She turned the doorknob! We're free! PUT HER RESUME ON THE TOP OF THE PILE."
I'm gonna be honest: parts of this job description read to me like the unfiltered ramblings of a 40-something divorced white woman who's just discovered hot yoga.
This job description (JD) is 2-3 times longer than the Director of Customer Success JD, despite the role supposedly being much less senior. It's just weird.
I had high hopes for this one, but the "energy" verbiage, the positivity stuff, calling health and dental a "perk" instead of the very important benefits you offer your employees in exchange for their labor...it leaves a bad taste in the mouth, you know?
This one originally appeared in Tread Carefully but I got word from a reader that it might just be a scam. Approach with extreme caution.
There's a misalignment between the duties of this position and its seniority, and before you come at me with "they don't do titles! dudebro noises", they're at this very moment advertising for a Director of Engineering, so clearly they're familiar with the concept of leveling.
I think there's a lot of performance about culture happening on Pulley's Careers page, especially considering the explanation of culture they link to is a Twitter thread from 2020.
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.
