Pros

Paid full-time as an employee

Cons

This company really has no idea about the direction they want to go. Meetings are a jumbled mess with nothing concrete being set in place, I'm constantly confused about the state of this company and honestly my coworkers are really unpleasant as well if I'm being honest. Leadership is insanely toxic, it's difficult to express ideas when they have their own traditional and un-innovative mindsets in place already. NOBODY EVER GETS PROMOTED HERE. I wouldn't recommend working here, I'm just doing my job while applying for better opportunities on the side.

This is not a review for Zype, this is likely a review for a company called GetZype (which is confusing). We have no Madrid office, no Madrid employees, and no one with this job title here.

Pros

Clear mission, transparency, good opportunity to innovate

Cons

Still a startup/growth culture with some of the uncertainty and energy levels that come with that.

Pros

Zype is a fantastic and rewarding place to work, from learning and growing through rigorous technical challenges to accomplishing awesome goals with super smart colleagues, and everything in between. - The software platform is incredibly robust and a lot of fun to work with and work on. - The market opportunity is HUGE and we have really smart leadership pointing us in a strong strategic direction while leaving flexibility for emergent opportunities. - As a growing startup, the company is doing a good job balancing investment in growth opportunities with increasing attention to our core competencies. - The team is flat out amazing. Brilliant, thoughtful, hard-working, and fun people. - Great culture and values. From day one you are told that Zype values courage, hard work, awesomeness, resourcefulness, and thoughtfulness (CHART values) and it's really true in the day to day work flow. - Great customers, great product, and great work atmosphere make Zype an excellent place to spend a large part of my life! Really happy to be part of the team and excited to see the company grow.

Cons

As a rapidly growing startup, it can be challenging to be ultra-focused and therefore occasionally the company runs into tough choices around resource allocation with many good opportunities to "bet" against. There are also growing pains as you tighten focus and need to adjust operationally, but these come with every business that is growing.
