Pros

nothing is good in this company.

Cons

When I joined, I was told that I would be given the position of Senior Oracle DBA, but instead, I was assigned the role of Team Lead. They negotiated my salary three to four times, and each time, I accepted their terms. Eventually, I joined at the package they offered. However, after joining, I found out that I was actually hired for the Team Lead position. Additionally, they mistakenly overpaid me for about six to seven months. I highlighted this issue myself and informed them. As soon as they realized the overpayment, they quickly arranged a meeting to explain a repayment plan, suggesting that they would deduct small amounts monthly to make it easier for me. But I chose to repay the full amount in one shot. In my current role and with the client I am assigned to, I often have to work 18 to 20 hours. I have repeatedly raised concerns with the company, asking them to discuss these issues with the client, but there has been no response. Initially, they would at least reply to emails with some kind of response, but now they neither reply to emails nor answer calls. Javeed is a fraud; he never answers calls and does nothing to support his employees in discussions with the client. Please do not join this company. After joining this company, I understood why people commit suicide because of their jobs.

Pros

I started working for Zest as a contractor in April of 2022. I worked for a second company who loaned me out to a third well known computer company. I was told by Zest that I had to be 1099 and paid by check or have a California address for W2 and receive $9 less an hour. Checks were supposed to be mailed within 6 days of invoice. That changed immediately. Now I needed a screenshot of every approval amd they had to match the weekly hours. I was paid for April and May late June with a second check in July. This continued. In October I was given six days notice by the sub contractor due to large company having budgetary constraints and layoffs. Zest did nothing to intervene on my behalf about breaking the extension. I sent my last pay invoice via email to both contracting parties the third week of October. Requesting approvals be immediate and between them. I have yet to be paid.

Cons

Your contract will be subcontracted. You will not be paid on time and wonder if you will be paid at all. Michael in accounting will claim check was mailed and give multiple dates of mailing. No check will be mailed. You will have to complain to Zest AND the sub contractors. .
