Now Closed: Ambitious Company, Difficult Market - Anonymous employee Zoomer Employee Review

Great people. fun environment. great location

The strategy shifts too often based on funding needs

Most people are super positive & engaged, excited about their role and dedicated to the cause. Typical startup enthusiasm. There are lip sync competitions and giphy games. Benefits are good. Short/long term disability & life insurance premiums covered. Medical/dental/vision. Great vacation - they call it "unlimited" bc you'll be busting your butt most of the time anyway. I got 4 weeks off (equivalent of 20 business days) in my first year. Plus ability to work remotely at times allows you to still travel while working. Opportunities to get your fingers into lots of pots if you want to; adaptability and versatility is prized in employees. Creativity and achievements are rewarded with public praise. If you do well you may be rewarded with opportunity to move up. Everybody supports each other and we've hit some pretty exciting goals.

Disorganized sometimes. Changes in process or structure happen very quickly sometimes with little notice. Lack of performance review, feedback, or coaching. Company culture is very familial. Sometimes I wonder why the tech products don't get developed faster. No 401(k) options offered. Be prepared for taking random days/times off instead of the usual evenings & weekends. All-in mentality. I like it but sometimes it the odd hours get tiring and you'd rather be at a happy hour. Lack of job security. Several rounds of layoffs and reorganization make one question the solidity of the company's future. Unless you work at HQ you will rarely see another employee except on weekly conference calls. A lot of people work remotely. People's roles change so frequently sometimes it's hard to keep track of who to ask certain questions.
