Bad eng managers - Senior Software Engineer Zip HQ Employee Review

Company has a great product that customers love. Each person has a lot of ownership and can create their own growth past as we are growing so fast and have tons of opportunity

If you are not ready to roll up your sleeves then this is not the right place for you.

- Modern app and software in a legacy space - Talented employees from impressive backgrounds - Lot of opportunities to get close with co-workers outside of work if that's what you're looking for. Work hard/play hard mentality - Recognition for delivering important work and going above and beyond

- Bad culture of comparison to peers, without much consideration of scope given, background, strengths, or support given - Don't get the sense that managers and peers want to help you progress. Much more a culture of recognition over support - Favoritism towards longer tenured employees, friends, and teams that are working on "sexy" products (very cliquey) - If you aren't the confident or expressive type, or fit a certain mold or stereotype within the company, you will have a hard time getting noticed, advancing, or have a sense of belonging - Too much emphasis on numbers when getting evaluated - Poor work/life balance without clear communication during hiring process and after of such (you are implicitly expected to work beyond work hours/days or you will suffer via feedback and treatment) - Poor rollout and unfair expectations for AI development
