Joined Zulzi after being sold on growth, stability, and long-term opportunity, only to be retrenched within a few months. One of the most disappointing professional experiences I’ve had.
The company talks heavily about innovation and scaling, but internally there appeared to be major instability, poor planning, and a lack of transparency around the actual financial and operational situation. It became clear very quickly that leadership either did not understand the severity of the situation early enough or chose not to communicate it honestly to new hires.
The engineering team itself was hardworking and capable, but developers were constantly dealing with shifting priorities, uncertainty, and reactive decision-making. There was little confidence that projects had long-term direction or support.
Being retrenched almost immediately after joining — after turning down other opportunities and committing to the company — showed a serious lack of responsibility toward employees and candidates. Hiring people into an environment that unstable without clearer communication is incredibly unfair.
