Pros

Great when I first got hired in 2019, fun culture, lots of office events, great holiday party etc. That wall went downhill with COVID. Great benefits, pay is ok. Remote setting was nice - will give you monthly internet stipend. Gym reimbursement etc.

Cons

Ok leadership, lots of pretending to care when they really don't. I was one of 300 who got laid off in Oct 2022. After being told numerous times from upper management that our department wasn't in jeopardy of being axed. Just feels like another big tech company who doesn't care.

Great culture but poor leadership

Pros

Started with great work culture, work-life balance, benefits and awesome people to work with (minus some managers & leaders)

Cons

Poor leadership from upper to bottom management led to the ZO winddown. Their overconfidence/ego made them blind to reality/business consequences which impacted 2000+ employees. As a result overall company morale is low, great leaders & talent have left the company and they now have some managers, directors and VPs who shouldn't be there. Leadership & promotional opportunities are heavily based on seniority and nepotism vs. actual competency and merit. As a result some leaders are merely there to pursue their own selfish ambitions and goals while they continue this front/facade that they truly care about their team & employees and acting in ZG's best interest. ZG will not move forward/grow with these bad leaders around and they should move swiftly to kick them out before the workplace becomes toxic and company morale sinks even lower.

Pros

Love my team and the people that I work with.

Cons

The organization over all is disorganized and has no clear goal. They value business metrics over meeting customer goals which is ultimately going to lead to the companies demise. There is 0 chance for a raise unless you are promoted. Promotions happen few and far between so I've worked at this company for 4 years without getting a raise. I live in San Francisco, and this is unsustainable when they aren't even giving us a cost of living raise.
