Pros

The only pro that I can even fathom of this company is that it's an excellent location for new graduates who know no better to gain quick work experience and to build a portfolio so they may move on to a legit agency that values them and their work.

Cons

- Methods used are antiquated - Views maintained from management/leadership are extremely antiquated - Favorites are curated and exploited - Developers will limit skill sets by only maintaining and implementing either the custom ZLCMS or a WP CMS - Designers are mislead to believe they should be "progressive" or to "push" when in reality the management wants a blunt design tool - Lack of internal mentorship and training - Project management team is utterly clueless -- leading to poorly management projects/clients and low team morale - Management is NOT made of real "leaders" - Development/Design teams are blamed for awful management - Time off is frowned on -- even if it's a family emergency/tragedy - Leadership is unprofessional and immature - No set structure to hold anyone accountable - Management lacks ability and desire to defend team - Management lacks the ability to manage clients and expectations that follow - Projects are constantly underbid -- leading to poor team morale and awful project output

Pros

Talented, intelligent and helpful coworkers. Good company culture and work/life balance. Collaborative environment with some structure, but a freeing level of autonomy, control over your own schedule and choice to work remotely for part of the time. Helpful management team. Highly varied work. Opportunities for growth and promotion. Medical, vision and matched retirement benefits.

Cons

Dental insurance is not offered.

Pros

+ Remote working allowed for a lot of flexibility + The group of people working there are all incredibly talented and we had a lot of respect for one another + We had a number of projects that were actually fun to work on (didn't feel like work) + Because of the small size, you had a lot of opportunity to bring something to the table.

Cons

+ Since it's a small team, there is a lot of work that can be on your shoulders at one time + Sometimes clients went dark in the middle of a project causing the timeline to go quite a bit longer than anticipated. Not necessarily Zipline's fault - but it made for some tough times when they decide to randomly come back expecting things to be done.
