Pros

Great staff! Positive people and young hip environment. Very casual and wearing jeans and t-shirt totally fine. Location in heart of Financial District and close to restaurants and other shops.

Cons

Start-ups are known to be a little crazy but this one is disorganized. Management has constant changes without informing staff. Asked to go above and beyond your comfort level. Stress levels are high and there is extreme favoritism via management. You can accomplish a goal set by management but then be told you aren't doing a good enough job and need to work harder. Typical work week is 60 hours.

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.
