Pros

I was working with fixya from home when I was at my Bachelors. It is a good chance to earn some money. And we can also learn a lot by researching. And they also offer troubleshooting solutions to wide range of products including home appliances, computer and so on.

Cons

Premium chats are not guaranteed everyday.

Pros

Your fellow employees are the best part of the job. The CEO has a knack for hiring great people, even though they don't stick around. I met some wonderful people that I still keep in touch with. There's sort of a FixYa veterans club where you can commiserate with others who know the hell you've been through. I would say the salary is good because that's how he gets people in the door, but the stock options suck.

Cons

Many of the cons in other reviews are true: high turnover, scammy-ness of the site. The CEO, however, is by far the worst part of it. He has a lot of confidence, and can inspire you at times. But then he'll change his mind, reverse what he said the PREVIOUS day, insist he never asked you to do something he actually agreed to, and all sorts of other mind games. You can't trust him. And he does other things like skimp on vacation days and PTO.

Pros

Located in San Mateo in the Franklin Templeton Building

Cons

- Do you have bad karma you would like to burn off? - Do you work well under constant supervision and being cornered like a rat in a trap? - Have you always wanted to operate at 10% of your talents? - Do you love having all the responsibility and none of the authority? - Have you always wanted to ride shotgun on the way to hell? - Do you enjoy regularly hearing quiet sobbing coming from an adjacent cubicle? FIXYA is for you!!! Qualifications and Requirements: Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product (even though you had no say in it, no influence over it and technically didn’t own it). Must be willing to face stimulating challenges; such as trying to figure out how interpret emails sent to you by the CEO and CTO. Must be deadline oriented – even though deadlines are arbitrary, you still have to feel the pressure. Your duties may vary. Expect tasks and priorities to be changed on an hourly basis.
