- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people and technology. Top notch leadership.
Cons
100% remote if you like to report to an office or work with others in person.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Punching bag for customer frustrations caused by overzealous sales, careless developers, incompetent CTO
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
OK, there was free catered lunch
Cons
* CC was always the last to find out about product UX changes—when the support queues blew up yet again with a host of confused & frustrated customers, we knew the offshore dev team had just tossed a new release over the fence for us to catch. * Oh, how we admired their sense of whimsy, as they discarded one long-established browser behavioral convention after another, sprinkling tiny shiny little feature "innovations" ahead of resolving the data-loss bugs, update glitches, and dog-slow page load performance that lay in wait for our larger customers! * Gotta love the cognitive dissonance of talking down a wanna-cancel customer upset by recurrent payroll and tax issues, while knowing Zenefits didn't trust its own system enough to pay its staff with it, instead relying on ADP to process payroll…
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
The people, unlimited pto, and the endless learning opportunities.
Cons
- Inexperienced leadership - Absurd hours: I worked from 9 am to 1 am on several occasions - zero processes in place like most startups but leadership not taking the initiative to build - extremely high turnover - watching a company come crashing due to compliance issues and watching as each state sued for millions as I had to watch my friends, colleagues in groups of hundreds being laid off - unrealistic metrics - watching the support team be screamed at to do better in a daily basis - leadership unwilling to listen - three CEOs in one year with Jay to come in on a Monday to make to final hit laying off 500 people that Thursday - allowing your leaders to tell associates their feelings are invalid thus disabling the freedom to speak or wanting to speak up even in confidence, make change, and ultimately feel not valued. Core value awards once a month looks great on paper but internally you’re overlooking everyone else.

Pros
They finally got things in order by the end of my tenure there.
Cons
Expectations were very high and it was very unorganized in the beginning. That has gotten better.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Generous PTO policy, and good benefits.
Cons
Long working hours, not a good work life balance.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- Inspiring mission to help level the playing field for small businesses - Talented team to work with and learn from - Disruptive product in a large market segment - Good remote/WFH working environment - Fairly autonomous - encouraged to learn and do new things
Cons
- Not for the faint of heart: feels kind of like a startup - Fast-paced with heavy work loads - Can be a lot of change
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Quality leadership, committed workforce, strong technology and value proposition; this company is helping SMB businesses transition from mundane HR to 'People Operations' and creating high performance cultures in the process.
Cons
Zenefits has been through a lot, but emerging stronger than before.
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Senior leadership is sharp and striving to improve culture
Cons
Not a customer-centric company. It's preached day-in/day-out but decisions made at very top demonstrate otherwise
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Used to be a good office environment. Snacks, lunch, collaborative team environment. Benefits are ok.
Cons
Everything else. Company can't get a handle on their tax filings, extensive backlog of cases, understaffed, no real solution for all the problems. CEO is all talk and no action. Just avoids giving people straight answers. Company doesn't give pay raises anymore, they give promotions, but then fail to move people into their new role. All talk... no action. A company that has ZERO clue what they are doing.
Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people, great industry to be in, lots of autonomy and room for growth, lots of opportunity for interesting new products and features
Cons
Large surface area of products and services. Flip side of the pro.. there is always something to fix. Operationally heavy business.
