Pros

Unlimited PTO, remote/flex work, decent health insurance

Cons

If you think getting a job in support is a way to get into the company, think again. The next door is locked. They seldom promote from within the Support team, and when they do they parade it around like a youtuber giving $50 to a homeless man. They like to talk about appreciation, and mental health, and career growth, but make no effort to provide any opportunities for those things. They will strait up lie to you and then punish you for calling out the lie. Look at how many other people in the company say they would absolutely never do the job that support does, or allow themselves to be treated the way support does. Last year they laid off 500 people, 7% of the company, "spread evenly across all departments" but some how it was just under half of the support team, we spend the whole year struggling under heavy volume and all they did was demand more, then get upset when we took time off because it was getting to be too much. I cannot stress enough, DO NOT apply to this job. There are plenty of similar roles with similar pay and benefits that wont leave you so stressed out that you need to see a therapist. Don't believe the crap about this being a great place to work. It was under Halligan, but for the support team at least this has not been a even a good place to work for a long time, and they absolutely don't care.

Don't think there is much to say here that doesn't sound defensive other than we care deeply about our Support reps, so I'll just say I'm really sorry you feel we've let you down. -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
