Pros

Free food handed out a lot, casual dress code, lots of people in their 20s that you can relate to.

Cons

Very confusing attendance policy. If you're not a permanent employee yet basically, you miss a day or two, they'll fire you. Very little support from upper management when dealing with customers. Impossible sometimes to get assistance with problems though they advise that you get their help when needed. I was so stressed from continuously being threatened by my supervisor that I might lose my job I couldn't stand it. If you want to have any sort of healthy work environment, don't work here.

Pros

Innovation is not hampered by unnecessary process. Designs are not approved by executives or committee they are approved by the users. This is an environment that promotes creativity.

Cons

You must be able to let your work go. For every test that wins 4 other designs fail. Being able to learn from designs that fail is difficult to do when you are emotionally invested in them.

Pros

Pays well for a CSR job. Is full time immediately. Two week training adequately prepares you for position. Nice break area with complementary tea, coffee, fruit. No dress code. Wear whatever you're comfy in. Friendly co-workers. Pleasant work space- comfortable desks, chairs, clean appearance. Breaks are CSR responsibility. You have a schedule, but you decide whether it's best to go on break or take one more call. On extremely high call volume days (i.e. server crashes, etc.) managers show appreciation by coming around with a cart of beverages and snacks to keep you going.

Cons

While you are placed on teams to help you deal with any obscure technical issues that may arise, the teams aren't very supportive or responsive. They love to BS in the chatroom, but when someone asks a real question suddenly it seems like no one is home. On the rare occasions when you do have an escalated call that you can not resolve, supervisors avoid your messages in order to avoid dealing with the dissatisfied customer. There is very little positive feedback. On days when I did everything correctly - 0% customer dissatisfaction (by survey response), low handle times, etc., the supervisor never said a word. The moment you have a long call that pushes your time up, they call you on it. Regarding any such poor performance: it was very common for embarrassment tactics to be used in response instead of constructive criticism.
