Pros
There are some amazing people here, and you’ll learn a lot, it’s a small company so you have to do more than the average position. Free lunches and snacks! Massages every once in while.
Cons
Lack of transparency, what they say and what they actually want from you are totally different things, they don’t give out raises, lots of favoritism.

Been through some ups and downs, economically, but the leadership prioritizes the employees more than any other employer i have worked for. Leadership also is willing to stomach short term pain, for things that will pay off later.
Cons
No serious cons. Scrappy startup like environment generic cons.

Pros
The people at Zonos have an unmatched loyalty, work ethic, and talent. You will not find a better group of people that are dedicated to finding answers and getting solutions.
Cons
You have probably already read my review from a few years ago praising Zonos for being transparent and trusting in their employees.
This is no longer the case.
Not only do the owners not know what their employees do day to day they don’t care. At one point this company was healthy and transparent and embraced their employees as partners in their goals.
There is no longer transparency: meetings use to be held weekly explaining the good and bad of everything to do with the company. As soon as they got series A funding those meetings were once a month and then a document that the CEO and all other management knew no one had time to read. The leadership talk about caring about their employees when they try to replace entire departments with AI. Then boast about removing people from well established careers and putting them into their support team instead of listening or appreciating several people that have more than decade long experience. While their favorite employees (family relations/personal assistants) are given the fast track to opportunities and roles that far outreach their experience.
Layoffs happened as industry standard so I’m not unfeeling about that type of decision. But leadership will only praise individuals they are work directly with and never the people keeping the company floating.
This company is no longer the crown jewel of tech ridge. It pays as equally as other tech companies in the area. The culture that use to be fun and happy and motivating is dead. I’m sure HR will respond to this message saying they disagree and that is their right, but listen to those of us who were in the trenches and got trampled.
