Pros

Decent Benefits, Remote Work, Good Pay

Cons

The organization suffers from extreme administrative overhead and redundant reporting requirements. Employees are required to submit weekly progress tracking, separate weekly high-priority task tracking, alongside monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual updates. Compounding this issue, the same data must be manually formatted into five different spreadsheets for various leadership tiers. This culture of micromanagement severely impacts productivity, redirecting valuable time away from core project execution and toward repetitive administrative upkeep.

Pros

Zscaler’s bread and butter products are great. Excellent pay and benefits. Fast growing technology

Cons

Toxic Mid Level Management looking out for themselves. Employees are easily expendable. Company seems fixated on stock prices and losing its focus on making happy customers. Diabolical review practices. My whole team received reviews from our manager. The SVP of the group then lowered everyone’s rating down a full level without any feedback or reason. The same SVP then laid us all off a few months later.
