Technical Support Engineer (L5)
Seems great, and the salary is amazing.
Seems great, and the salary is amazing.
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.
Seems like a pretty straightforward role with no major flags. The salary is, of course, Netflix generous.
This job seems fine if very, very corporate.
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.
I know this is a bit outside Support knowledge work, but I think it'd be a good fit for CX folks. The position seems fine, and the pay is great.
Pay is shit, especially for onsite in LA, especially for a multi-lingual role.
Solid, straightforward job description with no red or yellow flags and a decent salary for what appears to be a truly entry-level Trust & Safety role.
I'm upgrading this to Tread Carefully based on their wisdom, but I'm still concerned that the junior title and experience requirements coupled with the pretty senior job duties is not a great mix for success.
I was still mostly on board until I saw the salary. They want a discount engineer. LOL K!
I continue to wish that Anthropic would address how they're mitigating the mental health risks of Trust & Safety work, and there are some minor flags ("fast-paced environment," hello darkness my old friend), but it's a solid Eh, It's Probably Fine.
Overall, I'm going to put this in Eh, It's Probably Fine, with a caveat that I really think anyone applying to this role ought to press hard on the "demonstrate grace under pressure" bit.
Can we not? Can we just not require a T&S professional to have a "fun" attitude, especially when you haven't given any space to explaining how you'll care for their mental well-being? Ugh. Honestly, that pisses me off enough to put this into Tread Carefully.
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!
So this job closed and then re-opened at some point since early February. Which, uh, seems like not the greatest sign, you know?
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.
Honestly, this job description is a mess. Repeated paragraphs and sections, overly business-speaky, and poorly edited and formatted.
Genuinely one of the most diverse companies I've seen so far. And the rare case where a company claims diversity as a value and is clearly backing that up with their hiring. Cool!
Given the work this role will be doing and how often they will be working with senior leadership, I think it probably should have a more senior title and a slightly higher salary range.
Maybe they should have had Siena review this job listing before they posted it.
But I thought this is what Siena was for? Are you saying you need humans to support humans? Real food for thought.
Boy this job opening sure sounds like Support! But nah, can't be, they have their AI for that!
I'm not putting this in Tread Carefully because anything in the job is jumping out at me specifically – let's say it's a general wariness about Google's working environment and the fact that, again, the company doesn't address how they protect the mental health of those working in Trust & Safety.
The job description overall seems fine, but the pay is piddly for an onsite role in San Francisco, especially for a technical role. It's low enough, in fact, that I'm putting it in Tread Carefully.
