Pros
The office is in a great location, which is great, because you're not going home.
Cons
They really, really want to look like a Real Company. They have an office downtown, right by the Stone Arch Bridge. They have "perks" for their employees like a stocked kitchen or ball game tickets. Lots of language about equity on their website. You'd never know that the company has about...one third of the employees they need for the amount of work they take on. And are completely unwilling to pay for or use project management software. My time with Zan was a complete fugue. I worked nights. I worked weekends. I worked holidays. I basically didn't see my spouse for my entire tenure at the company. All because of, frankly, piss-poor project management. Projects would have ridiculously short deadlines. The project managers would request near-finished assets that would get scrapped because they were unwilling to show clients pre-production materials. Communication and project planning happened entirely via email, meaning things would get lost or overlooked easily. Any attempt to address these issues with management was shrugged off. The focus was on *appearing* like a legitimate company. Having things like ethic committees (which, in theory, I'm for, as a member of a marginalized community), and making sure people returned to the office during peak pandemic times so that they could seem like a bustling business to visiting clients. Listing the founder of the company prominently on the website with no indication that she doesn't work there anymore. Oh, and, after I quit, they sent a lawyer after me because I had included work I'd done for them on my personal portfolio website. Petty nonsense. It's the business version of a theme park town. These look like real storefronts and houses, but when you peek behind the scenes it's just painted plywood.
