Cool/Hip vs Microsoft ?

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

All the perks and benefits you wouldn't expect from a startup - are there. The nap room, the pullup/pushup workout gadget, the pingpong room, the pool table, the booze, not to mention they surely know how to throw a party with freshly rolled cigars and written poems. And the office is AMAZINGLY beautiful with best view anywhere can offer. Flexible working hours and WFH is generally acceptable. Lots of creative and best minds in the technology industry fostering a great engineering atmosphere.

Cons

Just like big-corporations or banking, you don't get to choose the platform, architecture, or even the tools for the job. Sticking with Microsoft means you only get 2nd grade engineers, unless they are Microsoft-married engineers themselves, which is fine but you lack choices, and the creative technology community prefers open source any day over Microsoft for agility and self-reliance. Also in the spirit of being a start-up, try not to have so many meetings - that kills the startup scrappy energetic vibe pretty quickly. Don't go from hip/cool to big-co/unimaginative in a split second please.

Glad to hear you like our perks. But as you know, perks don't mean anything without career satisfaction. We are proud to be on the cutting edge of Microsoft's latest technology, but hope our engineers feel empowered to choose the best tool for the job, we encourage creativity and don't want to slow anything down. Sorry that you felt that way. PS agree with you on the meetings, we just killed our weekly sprints for that reason exactly. Best of luck in your next adventure. - Mike H. CTO

Pros

They pay a reasonable wage for a call center. Provide snacks in the break room and a reasonably clean working inviroment

Cons

Leadership is clicky very highschool.If they like you you excell if not your in the struggle to be a cool kid. No emotional intelligence amongst sups or management.We know what it costs to keep a member whats it cost to train and retain an agent. They seam to be disposable.

So much favoritism!!!

Pros

The actual core values of what Jet is all about is great! Being Fair and Transparent and being open to one another is awesome. The free food, swag and raffles are great as well. Marc Lore was really cool. The pay is good for a call center

Cons

The core values are not implemented as stated during training. A lot of people will throw you under the bus instead of helping out. The environment has a high school vibe, it is very cliquey which can make for an uncomfortable work environment. I notice a lot of favoritism within management. Some people will slide under the radar while others will get fired for small reasons and barely even get a warning. Again not a lot of room for growth unless your someones buddy. A lot of fake people.

Thanks for giving us your feedback. Happy there are some good pros on your list, but it's unfortunate to hear the vibe isn't feeling right. Our core values are extremely important to us, and we strive to embed them in our every-day decision making. If you have other questions or concerns about management and current decisions, we hope you feel comfortable discussing it more with us. Feel free to reach out to the Talent (HR) team or me. - Doug D, VP, Member Services
