Pros

I wasn't at the company long so not sure if my review would help in anyway. I made a rash decision to leave the company because I completely misunderstood them. In my job search, before I ended up here, I was looking to play a meaningful role at a startup. I wanted to be part of a special team of people working to impact the world in a positive way. I was told a lot of positives about the company, but lots of companies upsell their culture, benefits and team members. And when you show up, you find out they're not who they say they are. Zozi isn't one of those companies. The company and the team are everything they say they are and more, you just have to look deeper and give it time. It's very rare to find that in a company because it takes a good leader to set the tone for that. I read reviews beforehand about Zozi and found the mixed reviews confusing. Why such extreme views? Something seemed off. From the moment I walked in the door I analyzed everything under heavy scrutiny, making sure I held them to their word. The odd thing about Zozi is on a quick impression they may not appear like a fun startup Bc everyone is heads down, working incredibly hard to meet deadlines, but they are truly a great, fun, tight knit, group of people. I know that's the discrepancy in the reviews. I had such an negative impression because I didn't understand who they were. They're kind of hard to read at first glance. They come off very tense and serious at times, but their hearts are in the right place. They want good things for the world and genuinely believe their business will achieve that. The ceo is really good at putting the business first and yet making sure his employees are happy. It may not appear that way Bc he's often busy and sometimes appears stoic, but he genuinely cares about the team.

Cons

Commute can be tough for some people.

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.
