Pros

- There’s always something interesting happening with the product - Holiday parties and off site events were always fun - Employees who are friends with the right higher ups will get promoted and be safe from layoffs - The company did do a fairly good job keeping employees engaged, even if they were remote or hybrid - Benefits package for current employees was really strong

Cons

- Very untrustworthy leadership. They talk about transparency and say the company is doing well, then conduct mass layoffs - Low morale - Top heavy; too many people in the C-Level - Most hiring decisions are based on who you know - Some departments and employees are blatantly allowed to violate office rules - Pay and severance packages weren't competitive, yet the company paid for an abundance of swag items

Pros

Some very fun, talented people. Good benefits and work/life balance

Cons

Zumper is in a bad position. They're rapidly losing market share (and relevance) and have really no idea how they're gonna turn the ship around. They're very reactive, are constantly being outperformed and out-innovated, all while laying off the employees that could help them make a difference. They're pinning all of their hopes on being acquired, but after a year and a half of searching, they still have no buyers. At this point, I'd put my money on them going bankrupt. If you're thinking about accepting a job offer from there, be prepared to be looking for another job soon.
