Change is Hard - Anonymous employee Zuar Employee Review

I had an incredible experience working at Zuar. The company culture is fantastic, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. The management team is approachable and genuinely cares about the well-being of their employees. The work-life balance is commendable, with flexible working hours and a strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy balance. Additionally, the team is composed of talented and driven individuals who are always willing to help and share their knowledge.

One aspect to consider is that the teams are relatively small, so you need to be comfortable juggling multiple tasks at once. This can make the work demanding, but it's also a great opportunity to develop time management and multitasking skills. Overall, Zuar is a great place to work at!

- Flexible work schedule. - Pay is similar to market, however benefits are lacking. - Consulting work provided wide range of experience to grow capability quickly. - Startup provides opportunities to gain skill in multiple areas at the same time wearing "many hats".

- Inexperienced misaligned leadership, providing strategic direction to grow a software/consulting company, where previous leadership experience is sales and marketing. - Software solutions are technically behind the curve and not able to compete in the market. - The company took investment with the goal of building a software solution to sell. The investment was mismanaged, investing in self promotion, marketing and customer solutions rather than core technology offering. The strategic investment resulted in no material gain while sinking the company into debt and losing customer revenue pipeline. Recoup in 2023 was a 45% reduction (both voluntary and involuntary) in headcount in an attempt to remain solvent. - Company is now beholden to investor debt with the majority of the company equity owned by the investor and company founders that are no longer with the company.
