Pros

LegalZoom is a great company for team diversity and inclusion.

Cons

It's become very clear that the only way to advance within the company is to come from outside. People with a fraction of experience to existing people will be hired in to high level positions because they are a friend of a friend or come from a company other leaders came from. Then they'll leave within a year for the next career hop, becoming directors or VPs in only 5 years or so. People left behind who have to pick up the pieces, work the job of 3 or more people due to staffing cuts, who are loyal to their working team, will get penalized for not being able to do every job flawlessly. Doesn't matter if you're smashing goals. You can fail to meet some unclear checkbox by inexperienced managers and lose 100% of your bonus with no warning.

Pros

Good benefits and good culture

Cons

Very AI focused with constant fear of layoffs by employees (based on my experience). Pay isn’t great, especially given the current cost of living. Poor communication and planning regarding updates and project rollouts.
