Pros

ZOZI has great dogs in the office, solid snacks and perks, and you don't have to put in exhausting hours like some start ups. It provides a comfortable place to work if you want to get by and have chill, not-overly-rewarding days. The people who work there are incredible and fun.

Cons

ZOZI on the whole has been a several-year-long example of what NOT to do—both in running a business and handling professional relationships. The company has very little unity and internal communication, making ordinary tasks often take months to complete and new projects very difficult to initiate. They consistently glide by putting band-aids on issues that arise by cutting corners, building upon older platforms and complicating processes. The leadership is shaky and untrustworthy, dodging in and out of the office often appeasing staff with vague, mysterious comments, and rumors spread like wildfire there due to the laughable lack of transparency from leadership on very basic things, like funding, goals, KPIs, and more. My experience here let me do fun things outside of work and have decent, not-too-hard days at work. This is good for certain times in life, but with so little transparency, it's difficult to feel any sort of attachment to the company or sense of purpose.

Pros

Even though the company and brand are being dissolved, I still wanted to write a review about the wonderful company that I called home. The people at ZOZI are and were absolutely phenomenal. Top of the line talent raising each other up for one common goal. We really thought we were going to make it work together. Even though it didn't work out, we should all be confident in what we did. Office dogs!!! Best perk ever. Culture absolutely rocked, awesome snacks, office was really awesome, and ZOZI credit to apply to activities and trips. I will never forget all of my awesome teammates who became friends! Thanks for the memories, ZOZI!!

Cons

Upper management allowed some shady things go on for FAR too long and it ruined the company, they should be ashamed of themselves. Transparency became nonexistent towards the end.

Pros

Great flexibility with remote work options, which made contract work easy to manage alongside other projects. The team moved fast and there was a genuine excitement around the product. Good creative freedom in the marketing and design work.

Cons

Like many startups, funding stability was always a question mark in the background. Hard to plan long-term when the company's runway felt uncertain.
