Pros

Czero is a small company with a tight-knit group of engineers. Because of its small size, Czero is a very flat-structured organization where everyone gets the opportunity/has to do a bit of everything. I personally like this because I am able to participate in everything from design, analysis, controls, manufacturing, assembly, testing and project management. That being said, if you really want to focus on one particular area, Czero tries to accommodate that as well. Because Czero is an engineering consulting company, the variety of projects varies widely too. Czero has worked in almost every major industry (automotive, aerospace, clean tech, oil and gas, defense, and research). Czero recently purchased their own facility as well. It is certainly a work in progress but they are actively building it up to a fully functional engineering development space with manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and testing capabilities. Overall, I really enjoy working at Czero.

Cons

Czero is a very flat structured organization so if you are looking for a place to ‘climb the ladder’ then Czero is probably not the best fit. However, I think Czero makes up for this with the wide range of skills and experiences I have gained while working here. Since Czero is a consulting company, there are certainly peaks and valleys in the workload. Czero is actively trying to smooth this out but I think this is somewhat the nature of consulting work.

Pros

Very transparent and supportive team. Because it is a smaller company, even interns do meaningful and cool work on both designing and building. Lots of cool projects to work on

Cons

Workload can be inconsistent. There were times when I was swamped with work and other times that I was just doing facilities tasks in order to get enough hours.

Pros

The two things I loved the most while working at Czero were the projects and the people. The projects felt impactful (mostly clean energy/clean tech), and were always super interesting and technically challenging. I never got bored because there was always something new to learn, and management was receptive to feedback about what skills I wanted to learn, or types of projects I wanted to work on. It's a close-knit team with a positive work environment. Everyone is very respectful of each other and ideas and values collaboration and team work.

Cons

The only cons are ones related to the inherent nature of consulting rather than Czero as a company. There were inevitably times with urgent deadlines, and some slow times in between. Also it was sometimes disappointing to get really invested in a project's success, but not get to hear about it after the customer's project with Czero ended.
