Pros

This used to be a great place to work. Unfortunately, the only thing that's the same is the great view, and a handful of perks: -A genuinely good core product. -Catered breakfast and lunches on occasion (usually once a month) -Discounted gym membership -Good health insurance -Some snacks/drinks and Nespresso coffee -Some great coworkers

Cons

-Apathy. There is so much apathy in the room, it's honestly depressing. People seen tired, stressed, and disillusioned 90% of the time. -Unless you're a respected engineer or "in" with one of the directors/executives, the pay is not even close to competitive. In some cases, $20K or more below market average, in Santa Monica, at that. -Even worse, there is such blatantly obvious misogyny. Zero women in C office. Very, very few women in upper management. When the promotions emails come around, not too many women on that too. Also, look at the careers page, all men there too! Complete boys' club. -Unlimited vacation? Sure, with unlimited work and unrealistic expectations. Again, this is not across the board, but very obvious for some. Some people are horrifically overworked. -Terrible HR and office management. The people on the team are fine, but the processes are awful. It feels like they're completely inexperienced. They mean well, but execution just plain sucks. -If you're not an engineer or in the "boys' club," you likely won't get any stock options. -No one actually tracks the company's KPIs in any meaningful manner, so we never know what's going on.

We appreciate your openness, and want to be completely transparent in the changes we're making: We're happy to say that both Jeanne Anderson and Amy Klimek are both invaluable parts of the management team, and we fully support women in leadership positions here at Zip! Regarding compensation, we recently hired an outside consulting firm to benchmark our compensation against a large set of peers. We gave millions in raises to bring all of our folks to the 70th percentile, and for those who are strong performers, we raised them to the 100th percentile. We're working hard to make sure everyone feels valued and challenged, and we truly hope we can reinvigorate your enthusiasm for ZipRecruiter. We'd love to hear from you in person - feel free to reach out to a manager or another member of the team.

Pros

You get free, school food quality lunches, and unlimited pto (which is also a con). Commission paid monthly and a casual, sometimes too casual, dress code.

Cons

Unlimited pto can easily effect you hitting your numbers. Lead distribution is terrible. The higher rates leads go to those who already make 50k and 75k base salaries while the limited, lesser quality leads go to smb reps. Leadership definitely have double standards. They constantly ask you to accept change but yet punish you for implementing the changes. If you don't like someone, complain about them, and without consideration from all parties, the one being complained about is reprimanded. If you need a temporary job, this is it. If you want to fear for your job the moment you get out of training, then this is the place.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. From your review, it sounds like we can be more transparent during that process to ensure we’re delivering a great workplace experience for all of our employees. I want you and every one of our current, future, and former team members to know that we value the work they put into the company, and we will continue efforts to be as communicative as possible about change along the way. We understand how important strong leadership is for a growing company, and we’ll continue to look for ways to make employees feel safer and happier moving forward. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
