RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Zenefits full-time for more than a year
Pros
Brilliant people Meaningful work Crazy opportunity to make a difference Autonomy and teamwork
Cons
Working to navigate out of some pretty PR rough waters/sins of the past Have a tendency to try to boil the ocean
Advice to Management
Gain and maintain focus on only as many projects as your teams can handle. remember that new initiatives need to be balanced with existing projects, maintenance and constant system improvements. In software there is rarely, if even a project that is one and done... maintenance, improvement and iteration never ends until its time to EOL.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Zenefits for more than a year
Pros
Free food. Standard compensation.
Cons
Subpar quality of engineering leadership. 90% of remaining engineers are from exactly same background. Basically everyone who is capable of getting a job somewhere else, has already left or looking to leave.

Pros
Great people, love the folks here - the company itself truly has tons of potential, Zenefits has really strong software/app tech that our customers love - it seems to be gaining more and more of the market so things are trending in the right direction.
Cons
Sometimes a little bit of a lack in process/documentation, but nothing crazy
Advice to Management
Keep trying to attract TOP talent - you must continue to recruit the right kind of people to come in and have a positive impact on the culture
