Pros

Some good colleagues to work with Challenging projects Weekly Lunch Soft drinks and snacks provided

Cons

Low morale with cut-down bonus and salary review freeze Laid off with no warning and no empathy Used to claim flexible workplace but forced to return to office Lack of recognition to employees' contribution and hard work Misleading company performance results to external and internal Continuous low shared price (e.g. $0.3) Only focuses on current tasks regardless of technical debt and self-learning Terrible communication from the leadership team and most of the things run in background/secret Lots of talents left and some are planning Promotion criteria are subjective, which can be extremely hard or easy depending on your manager

Thanks for your review. While it's good to hear about some of the positives of your time with Zip, it's disappointing to hear that other parts of your experience have fallen short of your expectations. We have always strived for a culture built on fairness and transparency, and our refreshed processes around remuneration and performance are designed to give all Zipsters a clear understanding of how performance is assessed and rewarded. Would you be open to a confidential chat with me so that I can hear more about your specific circumstances and give you an opportunity to share any recommendations that may uplift the experience for your former team mates? Please reach out to me via people@zip.co and I will arrange a time for us to connect as a priority. Conor Donoghue, Senior Director People & Culture ANZ
