Pros

ZURB used to have a pretty good culture when the owner was more hands-off. People bonded and friendships were made. You worked long hours for little pay but it was OK because you were with friends and everyone was in the same boat. There are not many pros at ZURB other than they will sometimes hire people with little experience, mainly because that's all they can afford. I used to recommend that junior designers or developers join the company to learn, but I cannot recommend that anymore. There are honestly no pros that I can think of anymore. Even the catered lunches are terrible; they're usually fast food and a lot of people end up skipping them.

Cons

Recently there has been a shift in the company. The owner started micromanaging everyone and introducing evermore bizarre growth programs. The company's management has turned incredibly toxic: turning people against each other. The owner will try to emotionally manipulate employees by saying he has trust issues. If you go into a meeting with him to talk about things that are bothering you he will try to gaslight you and make you feel like you're the cause of the problem. I can't say this enough: This company is a trap. If you work here and eventually leave, the owners will treat you like an enemy. Beware.
