Zayo reviews

- Work life balance is way out of whack with no real desire to fix it ("If you don't want to work long work weeks and weekends you should just look for another job") - Under paid and undervalued workforce - Management are a bunch of yes men/women so there is very little push back on the executives. You must play in the politics of the company to move up in most cases. - Hope you like most of your salary tied up in stock (RSUs) because that is what you will get and in most cases you will have to wait 14+ months for your to pay out. - Nice offices but not as nice as most other top tech companies in Denver/Boulder - Little to no perks other than equity - Many of the senior managers that started the company are now gone - Young middle management core that do not know how to lead the teams they are put in charge of - Little to no company culture to speak of - Short sighted goals as bonuses are paid on a quarterly basis - Overly complected bonus and salary system - Empty promises of cultural changes that are quickly forgotten - Raises are nearly impossible to negotiate beyond finding another job and putting in our notice - Do not expect any mentoring as no one has time to devote to this - I literally had 4 different managers within a 6 month window making it impossible to stay track with goals/directives - My advice is to potential applicants it to just keep looking

-No base pay increases-little room for internal promotion, even with a ‘promotion’ and new responsibilities pay often remains the same (lateral moves even with title changes). -Educational opportunities mean that you get the privilege to have your workload, the workload and responsibility of the position above you and the workload of your other teammate who just quit with NONE of the financial reward. -If there is one message that is loud and clear from upper management it is that you are not valued and are easily replaceable. -Business cards are a luxury for a select few, you most likely will be denied. -To reiterate: the reality for most is stagnant salaries- Zayo culture is to do more work and wait for a reward that never comes. (They have no intention of retaining the talent they have, only to burn through people as fast as they can). This is short sighted and unfortunate. -Managers are just the folks who have stuck around long enough; some have absolutely no interest in managing a team or helping you with your personal career growth. I understand this varies by team, but with the constant movement between teams you are sure to run into some terrible ones. It would not be uncommon to have 2 or 3 managers over the course of a year -Desks are another privilege, I had a coworker that was refused a desk, meaning they could not set up their phone/additional monitors and they never knew where they could and could not be-this went on for months. -Onboarding- my job was sink or swim, don't expect much direction or guidance.
