Pros

Small but innovative. Great people culture, and genuinely cares about staff. Working with so many creatives is inspiring.

Cons

The parking in Melbourne isn't ideal and is costly. Which is fine when one can work from home more.

Great Product, Great People, Toxic Leadership

Pros

The original product vision was fantastic. The co-founders established a scrappy startup culture with a vision of how the product would evolve over time. First 5 years saw massive growth. People here are passionate about their job and for the most part very skilled. Working in the bike industry is fun, and in person events in the past were a great way to meet coworkers from other departments.

Cons

Everything changed when the original head of Product and cofounder stepped down. Current leadership has little to no experience in software development let alone game development. Development is a mess. Constant useless meetings, design proposal process that takes more time to get something approved then to develop a feature, and decisions being made by leaders who don't understand the product. Releases have very little meaningful content, leadership uses buzzwords to explain decision making. Compensation is always lagging. Your title and pay often reflects where you were a year or more ago. Promotions don't reflect accomplishments but rather focus on internal networking and who you know. There are more VPs then game programmers. Company is riding off the success of it's first 5 years but it can only last so long.

Under paid and over worked

Pros

The people that work at Zwift are generally great people, they are doing the best they can do with the resources and expectations that are set. Many people are passionate about the mission, and depending on your team they do value career growth.

Cons

The compensation and the people team are completely out of touch with the market. You have high expectations for what you are supposed to deliver and you are severely underpaid for the market, about 30%. Internally they boast that they are competitive to FAANG companies and that they were voted for best paid. This is absolutely not the case and I have no idea who they polled for that award.
