Pros

Started off as a very entrepreneurial company with lots of potential and opportunity for growth, but that has dissipated.

Cons

Due to the pressures for growth and preparing the company to go public many of the things that made LegalZoom great have deteriorated. LegalZoom was a fun company to work for with dedicated employees, but leadership has sacrificed employee morale for productivity. Micromanagement is rampant throughout middle management and even executive management at times. Employees input is taken by management but almost never followup on. Compensation is below market rate and sometimes you are forced to work long hours.

Pros

Work life balance is actually great. The people you work with are smart and generally fun to work with

Cons

Roadmap is very disorganized, you kind of have to assume you will work on any random project each day

Pros

Good benefits and good culture

Cons

Very AI focused with constant fear of layoffs by employees (based on my experience). Pay isn’t great, especially given the current cost of living. Poor communication and planning regarding updates and project rollouts.
