      Pros

      Great place for work life balance. Flexible work schedules and ability to work from home allows employees to be able to have balance in their life. From day 1, employees are given responsibilities and ownership of their own work. Strong teamwork environment. Employees are looking to support each other, very few people are cutthroat, though politics does still exist.

      Cons

      Many managers do not have the experience to be great people managers. This is due to a lack of experience in workplace in general (for some fast promotions). Promotions seems to tie to groups that one works for. In addition, promotion criteria differs from group to group making it difficult for those who change groups internally to be promoted. Feedback system could use some work. There should be more communication between managers and their employees.

        Pros

        Fun atmosphere to work. Casual dress code and great vacation benefits.

        Cons

        Call Center leadership is expected to be 'present' with their team during work hours but this leaves very little time to complete other obligations like monitoring calls thus most managers have to complete tasks at home on their own time. 'Work/Life balance' is sometimes minimal depending on the time of year and what reports are due.

        We’re glad you’re enjoying our fun atmosphere and appreciate you sharing your feedback about work/life balance. To us, work/life balance isn’t just a perk; it’s a lifestyle, and it ensures that our associates are operating at their full potential. We take your feedback very seriously and are constantly looking for ways to improve our work environment. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

      Customer Service Representative CSR

      I had an interview this afternoon for a customer service position in a call center. The ad was very vague to begin with and at the end of it I felt like I really didn't know anything more about the job. When I asked about the starting pay, which was not published in the ad, they looked incredulous (they were doing on-the-spot hiring today) and then asked me "What's your range?" And only responded with "I think we could meet that." And still never gave me a straight answer. Is this a red flag?

      Software Engineer

      I did my initial interview with a “better established” startup and they said the interview process is 5 interviews. 3 technical then 1 interview with the CEO then another technical interview. Idk about you but that seems like a lot of interviews and they said they want to do it as fast as possible in a short time span. Is this a normal amount of interviews? Is this a red flag? For a full stack software position 4-5 years exp how much salary should be the norm in a hcol area?

      Is it unprofessional to attend a Zoom interview from within your car? I am currently employed and just landed an interview for tomorrow. It is a virtual interview over Zoom. Should I try to find somewhere besides my car for the interview? I don't know that I could but wanted to get yalls thoughts on this.
