Pros

Good benefits, free fruit and coffee, friendly entry-level colleagues

Cons

The company has declined sharply over the past couple of years. There's little room for growth, unless you're a favorite. The management does not hold employees to the same standards and the review/feedback system has been changed in ways that allow management to get away with very questionable behavior and with treating employees very poorly in a way that is "compliance friendly" They've stripped back more and more of the "perks" that they advertise during the interview process as time goes on, but will not consider feedback seriously. There's definitely a "If you don't like it, other people can replace you" mentality these days. This is not the company it used to be, and there's a good chance there won't be a long term improvement in the future

Pros

Hotel discounts and multicultural environment

Cons

- It’s almost impossible to ever get the holidays you want (“computer says NO”) - sickness policy is too strict and does not respect medical and personal needs of the individual person - time spent at the toilet is measured and you get told off if you stay more than 10 mins - the “free” food they serve at the canteen is unhealthy and smells/tastes bad - team leaders do not have any knowledge, be it technical or operational - senior management is selected with apparently poor criteria and recruitment process is not transparent - all feedback you offer to management goes wasted, and if they don’t like you they make sure they find a way to sack you or to make you leave - very difficult to get through seniors for support - different team leaders treat their staff very differently in the same office, and be prepared to change yours every 2 months

Pros

The culture is fun, the office is nice, and the atmosphere is very relaxed, some of the people are great as well…those are the only pros.

Cons

Where do I even begin. I was a customer service executive, and they say they focus more about on-call behavior rather than metric goals, HOWEVER, do not believe this. The job is very metric driven, and the team leads pressure you to meet those goals. Over the last 6 months, the bellevue office has gone through some drastic changes that made employment unbearable. Changing the pay structure and so on. After 6 months, you are eligible for advancement, but you won't get it. Some customer service executives had been there 2 plus years, and no promotion. The room to move up is small, and the job is just demeaning. People yelling at you on the phone for a problem you didn't cause is not a way to spend your day. Do yourself a large favor, and apply somewhere else, like Expedia.
