Pros

ZT is NOT a bad company, but it's also not for everybody. I think it varies between teams and departments. Business wise, the company is doing very well and there seems to be a very positive outlook for the future. CEO is a very friendly guy and will always acknowledge you when crossing paths. There are a lot of talented employees here who are hard-working and good at what they do. If you work hard, do well, and are loyal to the company, it will not go unnoticed (in my experience). There seems to be a lot of growth happening to ZT and it's exciting to be a part of the journey.

Cons

Like a lot of the reviews have stated, the environment IS a little quiet. There is not a lot of cross-department communication, because some managers are afraid of over-sharing information. It is a very traditional type of office, the opposite of a start up culture. If you're looking for bean bag chairs in the lounges and weekly team building paintball outings, this is NOT the place for you. If you're looking for an opportunity to start your career working with a fast-growing technical company, you'll be fine here. It may not be the funnest place to work, but you will learn and get a bit of working experience. I think a lot of the negative reviews on here come from people who maybe expected a higher-energy type of office. ZT is a quiet, get-your-work-done type of environment, and you have to really understand that in order to not dread coming into work everyday.

Pros

relatively close to nyc, and some of the engineers are very friendly and nice.

Cons

1. suggestions are frowned upon. 2. communication is frowned upon, even within a team. hence no one care about the company performance anymore. 3. no break, especially if you're an engineer. 4. casual friday is misleading, its not casual at all,you're allowed tto wear sneaker, thats it. 5. 401k is available, but with very low roth rate. 6. cramped work environment 7. alot of backstabbing people. 8. achievements are not recognize, only those with big mouths are being rewarded, if you only work hard, no one cares. 9. we have a CEO?? 10. very disorganized, outdated technology. 11. very depressed environment, like seriously depressed. only management allowed to laugh, while they dump all of their works to engineers. 12. yes, engineers are treated like crap here.

Pros

There are no pros to this place at all. Some will say the transportation comp or free meals are pros, but you need to either endure torture for the comp, or slave ungodly hours of OT to get the meal. Even then, the meal COMES AFTER your shift so in essence it's a kick in the face because you can't even eat it at 6pm like a normal human eats dinner.

Cons

Organizational culture is oppressive, abusive, toxic, and flat out ridiculous. If you like being told by ineffective clueless Warehouse Management that you are responsible for unskilled, lazy, irresponsible employees that do not listen and report to different supervisors who did put away after 6pm incorrectly when you're already long gone for the day, then this place is for you. Or, if you want your performance review based on other people's actions like, if you submit an adjustment report and that person ignores the request routinely to have accounting adjust the differences, then this place is for you. And, lastly, if you routinely like asking your Warehouse Manager for resources and support only to be told you are complaining and are already over budget in resources, and that you should communicate yourself but actually communication with the unskilled lazy irresponsible temps is futile leaving you with zero results and support, then this place is for you.
