Pros
The people. Can't say this enough. There were, and still are some really amazing people at Zartico. Not only did I enjoy everyone I worked with, I know that I made lifelong friends through my time there. Flexibility: These reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. One persons definition of flexibility will not be the same as the next. I personally did not have a single manager at Zartico that didn't respect my time. They treated me like an adult, I got my work done and that was that. Like most remote companies, if I had an errand to run in the middle of the day, I was able to do it. Health benefits: Imo, the benefits the company was very good. Middle management: Directors, VP's, Senior managers, at Zartico were/are all top notch. Always felt respected, everyone was always an email away, my voice always felt heard. For a remote company, they did an incredible job making sure everyone felt like they knew each other through cocktail hours, slideshows, and company outings.
Cons
The cons I am listing pertain to me, and me only. Pay: I felt I was underpaid, but most of the people that I knew felt the were paid FMV. Lack of 401k match, this is relatively standard for a Series A startup, but matching 401k, even 2% shows you're invested in your employees. Layoffs: 2024 saw 50% of the company get laid off. It's a startup, it happens, but it's still a con. The transparency of when/how staff were let go was really poor, but to their credit, they formed a culture cabinet, listened to the voice of the employees and improved upon that, then laid off >70% of the cabinet. I would recommend Zartico to friends, but with the caveat that there are usually yearly layoffs.
