Zenefits Reviews

Pros

Though I joined them a few months back but I am excited about the work we are doing. It's been a good journey and am proud of my decision. The engineering team is relatively small but you get to learn a lot from the diverse set of employees especially the one's who have worked with Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and start ups. The environment is fast paced and I just love the USA office, I wish we have similar office in...

Cons

Bangalore office is in a co-working space and is not very exciting. We need to ramp up quickly and move to our own space and add some fun to daily work.

Cons

Haven’t come across any for now.

Pros

To this date, because of the many late nights and camaraderie in the Operations Team, we had one of the tightest teams in my career. Catered dinner, open bar (before it got taken away), hard-working people. Long hours and being hourly meant tons of overtime. Learned a lot about what goes on (good and bad) in a start-up going through hyper-growth. Made some good contacts back from my day at big Z. Learned what NOT to do...

Cons

At the time, toxic politics, culture, and nepotism everywhere. Leadership in their own bubble not taking any action despite all the feedback. Department leaders with 0 experience and relevant skill sets were managing and failing miserably at it. The consequences trickled down and lead to a burned-out and underpaid Operations Team with little career progression. Exciting times between 2015-2016 but outright scary given...

Advice to Management

A lot of the issues above stemmed from a lack of values and trust, corrupt leadership, and lack of alignment and transparency through the levels of management. This was a project that could have made it big but didnt plan well while letting its employees take the hit. Maybe listen to your employees for once.

Pros

The product really was unique and revolutionary (if you can use that word in the HR and benefits space). There was an energy and passion that I hadn't yet encountered in other work environments and haven't encountered since.

Cons

The company grew too quickly and learned some hard lessons. Towards the end, it didn't really value its people. Your job always felt in jeopardy.

Pros

great snacks if you have a sweet tooth!

Cons

Sales training could be much more structured

Advice to Management

listen to your employees

Pros

Free food/ fully stocked kitchen, young and intelligent coworkers, office space was pleasant

Cons

Heavy workload, lots of change, little direction
