Pros

great and hard working developers and some other good people from other departments! really without them, there will be no company at all.

Cons

I worked fo this company and really believed in waht they stood for but you quickly realize that they are actually disgusting and just a bunch of liars. Once you start, you are immediately warned about your productivity after a month, that is definitely not the way to set up a culture in a company, you don't want to lead by raising negative statements and trying to set up a conditioning situation the Pavlovian way or you definitely read the wrong books! They really take employees as stupid sheeps and think that because they read some books (not necessarily the right ones!) that they are leading you like sheeps. No evaluation process leading to a follow up of the employee performance nor taking care of how they feel and accompany them in their journey of the induction process which is inexistant... middle management can simply bully you to be fired based on if they like you or not and invent any pretext for it. it's just a disgusting mentality of people who arrived in the begining think themselves as being above anybody and think they are responsible of the company growth. I have never wrote such review but that is the worst company I worked for and I write this out of pure indignity and how they make you feel about yourself! Management is a complete disaster, absolutely clueless, some people have had ridiculous promotions to management level and started as junior less than 3 years ago!!! while they do not have the maturity nor the experience for it... that leads to them leading by ego. The new CTO is just a fraud, a perroquet to the CIO has no personality, no leadership, just repeating corporate statements he heard probably on movies, no semblance of intelligence or taking ownership and improving processes and calibration between Engineering Managers. I have never seen someone as imcompetent on top of that a shameless liar. The discussions on meetings with him are just ridiculous, I was ashamed to be on such meetings and listening to the way he takes decisions based on nothing but just irrational reasoning and some kind of stupid sense of humour ... Genuine advise: Don't waste your time if you are looking for a stable place to stay, evolve and learn... you can literally be fired if they don't like you in less than a month for any reason... some people have been fired for 'lack of communication' ... getting your chance to find something else somewhere else close to zero as they will give you a bad feedback!

I’m genuinely sorry that you’ve had such an experience at Zilch. You’re right in that we haven’t had a performance management system or a comprehensive onboarding programme whilst we were remote – both of which the team have worked hard to improve. We now have a performance management platform on the way and a fully immersive onboarding experience to welcome our new hires. I take your comments and feedback seriously; as an Exco team we operate with high integrity and mutual respect for each other, aligned in our vision for Zilch and collaborating with an amazing team as we grow.

Zilch is a fast paced hyper-growth environment, which I love. Your ideas are met with openness and there is a ton of visibility by the leadership team at every level.

Cons

Accelerated timelines and high expectations. Startup culture so we are still building processes.
