Invaluable internship at an awesome "Start-Up" company - PR and Marketing Intern Zooppa Employee Review

Zooppa is a unique company. Although it's been out for a while, in the last few years it has changed completely: the culture is very strong and based on trust, transparency and collaboration. You get the opportunity to do creative work with some of the most talented filmmakers, photographers and designers from around the world while dealing with famous brands or cool startups. There are many opportunities to grow as the company grows but especially to get your hands dirty and see a direct impact of your job within the company.

Startup life is like a rollercoaster, so you've to be ready to face both the exciting times and the tough ones.

There used to be some really great people that worked at the company. Due to a lack of leadership, smart investment, general business understanding, (insert anything relative to running a good business here), those people left, were pushed out or fired in order to maintain the secrecy of financial mismanagement and lack of any talent in the upper management and especially C level employees.

The company has literally zero vision. They parade around like they care about employee opinion but make all of the decisions in backroom conversations. Any "new product" or "new vision" from within the company is just a recycled and re-marketed version of their failing model. This company is destined for failure, not because the idea is flawed, but because the investors and upper management have repeatedly punched the company in the gut hoping that abuse will work the same as CPR and resuscitate a dead culture of disempowered employees. The only reason the company refuses to close it's doors and count their loses is because the primary share holder is a publicly owned company afraid of letting their baby die and watching their stock crash.
