Pros

-It's pretty fun while it lasts -People are generally, nice, good people -Nice space for a startup you're not sure will be around in 6 months, 1 year or more -It seems really fun on the outside

Cons

-It's like dating someone you know in your gut won't last -Management does ask people to write reviews. So if you see 5 stars and someone just glowing about working there, be cautious. -What they are building is really not that unique or innovative - or even something anyone wants super badly. It's coupons for "ghost tours in SF" and "walking tours for dim sum" - you'll feel that on the inside when they are always trying to figure out new ways of making more $$ and making their numbers seem bigger. -When I tell people I work there, they have never heard of it. -Lack of legit strategy for current product, short term and long term growth. I say "legit" because they might think they have one, but it's not a good one. -You fear month to month you won't have a job for it's lack of stability

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.
