Phenomenal Small Company - Anonymous employee Zapata Technology Employee Review

Owner is technical and easy to talk to. HR is pleasant and motivated; both pre-hire and post-hire. Company culture is very laid back, it is a great environment for those who self-motivate and take initiative. I work (as most at Zapata do) as a subcontractor, management and support staff work tirelessly and even on the weekends to ensure the I am supported and any hiccups are worked out in a timely manner. Benefits are great and cost effective. The company is as close to a meritocracy as is possible in government contracting. Those who go above and beyond are rewarded and recognized for their efforts. The company offers a discretionary leave policy; so there is no need to bank away leave for a rainy day. They have always been upfront regarding the statement of work and scope. I had some concerns regarding longevity of a contract; I took those issues to upper management and they collected the facts and addressed my concerns in a prompt and satisfactory time-frame.
