Head of Technical Support
Friends. You're in sales. You know pretty words like "competitive," "generous," and "comprehensive" mean nothing unless there's data to back them up. What are the numbers? Tell me the numbers!
Didn’t quite hit bingo, but there were several yellow flags or more than one red flag.

Well, this took a turn. Between this casual ableism, the lack of salary transparency despite competitive claims, and their ask for compensation expectations on the application, the JD practically puts itself in Tread Carefully.
It is so infuriating when companies want the credit of giving a salary without actually giving the salary, which is such utter bullshit, especially from a company with stated values of "Trustworthiness" and "Accountability."
There are two different job titles in this job description, Manager, Customer Success and Customer Success Manager. Which one refers to this role specifically? Your guess is as good as mine.
I swear I entered the role title exactly as it's displayed on the job listing. I'm not sure what's going on with this role, but the title in the actual job description is Customer Onboarding Manager, so...I dunno, man, I'm just the rater.
Otherwise, it seems like a straightforward onboarding role, but accessibility issues and lack of salary transparency puts it squarely in Tread Carefully.
I get that these roles will have some overlap, and seniority may be the biggest differentiator, but I dunno. It strikes me as odd and makes me wonder if they are entirely sure about the team's structure.
This is essentially a Director role with engineer duties, and right now, the salary is only compensating for one of those things.
While this feels like it could be a young company still trying to figure out its culture and hiring practices, there are still some red flags that are hard to ignore, so I think it still belongs in Tread Carefully.
It seems like a pretty straightforward Director role, but this is one of those times where playing Bad Job Bingo is more an art than a science because I'm getting a weird vibe from this job description.
I'm surprised that they provide a salary range for their frontline role but not for this manager role. The way the bullet is phrased makes me wonder if it's a genuine, accidental oversight, but regardless – the lack of salary transparency means this has to go into Tread Carefully.
Not much to say about this one except that I'm irritated this leadership role is salaried and more adequately compensated while the frontline roles are not. That's some bullshit, Ramp.
I don't know about Miami, but $46.8K – $55K is shitty pay for a non-entry-level fintech support role in New York, even if it's remote.
Overall, there are positive culture signals for the company, but I'm concerned that this position will be stretched too thin to provide the leadership and mentorship Robinhood wants to see, and there's some scope creep I'd ask about as an interviewee.
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like they're asking this Director position to do a lot. It almost reads as if they asked ChatGPT for a Director of Support & Ops job description and then didn't whittle it down at all to fit this specific role.
Y'all, the noise I made when I saw "CX Director, MeUndies" in the #jobs channel in ElevateCX. WOOOOOOOOOO. Okay, for real. I can do this. I am a serious professional.
I don't know, y'all; my spidey sense is tingling with this one. It could be nothing, but just...tread very carefully.
*MC voice* Ladies, gentlemen, and variations thereupon: here we have the latest and greatest in corporate employee management: Sparring sessions! For when verbally berating your employees just isn't enough. The beatings will continue until performance improves.
Not being clear about salary upfront wastes everyone's time and demonstrates a lack of respect for a candidate's experience. (This is true regardless of where in the world the role is based.) All that to say: show me the money, Airbnb.
Would be in Eh, It's Probably Fine if not for the lack of salary transparency. It's your own fault, Airbnb.
Boo, no salary transparency. Companies should always be transparent, not just when they have to be! I expected better from you, Airbnb.
Overall, it's pretty clear they're looking for a discount manager, which is enough to put this in Tread Carefully.
I think it would probably be fine, except there's no salary transparency, so into Tread Carefully it goes. Womp Womp.
These companies do know that no one's forcing them to build their cultures 20,000 leagues under the sea, right? Come out of the water. It's nicer up here.
