Pros
Bagel Thursdays are single handled carrying the culture
Cons
Zola used to feel like a fun, inclusive, supportive place to work and in the last couple of years it’s taken a turn for the worse Ever since we appointed a co-CEO (which is weird enough as it is for such a small company) she has single handedly destroyed the culture. One town hall she actually got up in front of the entire company and said “I am always right about everything” and laughed. She is out of control, catty, and everyone walks on eggshells around her. I’ve also heard her trash people just for leaving the company for better opportunities and acts like everyone should give Zola blind loyalty. But it’s ok for her to be a part of laying off over a third of the company? Hypocrisy at its finest. The company went through massive layoffs last year and is down to a skeleton crew. Zola used to have a full, diverse HR team and now there is only one person left for HR for the whole company. Major red flag. Unless major changes happen I don’t see Zola coming back from this.
