Pros

Free Netflix Cafe on sight, moderately priced Free coffee and peanut m&m's Good health and dental benefits Very transparent No dress code (using good judgement) You can flex your on the clock breaks Pay is above market

Cons

Attendance policy is strict Little room for advancement Calls from very uneducated and slow people needing help with their Netflix Not much room for shift changing to earlier shifts (only night shifts available) It's "not scripted" although there are many things you must do verbatim Calls are very repetitious

Pros

No pros, everything that made me like the job was a blatant lie. Has health insurance so that's something.

Cons

The work is monotonous and draining. The chat team was dissolved, and then they shifted my hours to meet 'business needs' which took away the last bit of faith I had that they care about the employee. Supposedly you can choose from set shifts, but the time you pick is randomly assigned, meaning if you're randomly assigned to pick last, then there are no good options left. Could also mean that you work there for 2.5 years like my coworker and never get to have a weekend day off. In training they told us over and over again that top performers were promoted within 3 to 6 months but there have literally been no opportunities. They said numbers didn't matter, they promised unlimited time off, and a whole host of other perks. That has all been blatantly false, the entire job is a numbers game, you sit glued to your desk waiting for a coaching or meeting to break up the nightmare of the day but those keep getting pushed off to the future, which never happens. Unlimited time off was taken away, and you could be fired for a whole host of silly reasons, I myself have seen multiple coworkers walked off the floor for minor infractions, and the new policy of only 3 tardies (which could be 1 minute late) per YEAR is punitive. Even the free drinks are slowly being taken away, we have stupid lemon water options now or espresso, which I can't drink. This job has given me anxiety, I am actively looking for a different job and will quit the moment I'm able.

Pros

Extremely competent colleagues. Fast-paced. Incredibly transparent. The culture is amazing. Benefits are amazing. Everyone here wants to do a good job. Management is being serious about diversity and it shows in their hiring. We're given incredibly autonomy to execute how we see best. I've never even heard of a company that gives individual contributors such autonomy! I bet if we decided to build a spacecraft, we could pivot and have an MVP in orbit by the end of 2017. It's also pretty neat to work for a movie studio, basically. Certainly much different than most companies in the Valley.

Cons

It's a little far down in the South Bay (Los Gatos), but there's a shuttle from SF. Deadlines can be intense and you really have to be an advocate for your time. If you're not an assertive person (or can't learn to be) then you will probably be overworked here.
