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.
I don't know about Miami, but $46.8K – $55K is shitty pay for a non-entry-level fintech support role in New York, even if it's remote.
This one is somewhat better for having lower requirements, but still. Boo.
I take back everything I said about positive culture signals at Robinhood. It's enough to make you ask yourself: What would Robin Hood do in this situation?
This is the job description equivalent of that "This is fine" cartoon.
Y'all, the noise I made when I saw "CX Director, MeUndies" in the #jobs channel in ElevateCX. WOOOOOOOOOO. Okay, for real. I can do this. I am a serious professional.
I don't know, y'all; my spidey sense is tingling with this one. It could be nothing, but just...tread very carefully.
*MC voice* Ladies, gentlemen, and variations thereupon: here we have the latest and greatest in corporate employee management: Sparring sessions! For when verbally berating your employees just isn't enough. The beatings will continue until performance improves.
There's not a ton here, but what is here points to BINGO: no benefits, no salary transparency, and not-great culture signals.
Yes, I am putting this in Green Means Go despite no salary transparency, only because the hiring location is Europe / Middle East / Africa, which is so broad that it makes giving an actual salary range genuinely difficult, and everything else is just positive signals.
I thought this was probably otherwise okay until we hit the "Personal Characteristics" section, which was just one red flag after another. Not to mention the "What's In It For You?" section contains no actual benefits, and we've got ourselves a BINGO.
Kong shows their heart in their values and in the job description. I can see the shape of what they're trying to do, so I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt and assume they'll grow over time. I guess we'll see what I hear and how they fare in future JDs!
Identical to the other Support Engineer roles for Grafana, just in a different US time zone. Still great.

I think they're asking this role to do a lot of things, and unless they're hiring more than one person through this listing, I'm worried about the long-term success and energy of whoever ends up in it.
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.
Overall, it's pretty clear they're looking for a discount manager, which is enough to put this in Tread Carefully.
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean, but you should NEVER EVER take on risk on behalf of the company employing you unless you're, like, a firefighter or something. Which this is very much not.
I think it would probably be fine, except there's no salary transparency, so into Tread Carefully it goes. Womp Womp.
I understand that it's customary for there not to be salary transparency in international roles, but I refuse to excuse companies simply because they're not required to have it, *especially* when they claim to offer competitive salaries.
