Pros
- Jay is an incredibly transparent CEO, which is important to me in a leader. His standing desk is central and makes him very accessible; anyone can talk to him about the company or ask questions.
- The vibe is incredibly progressive, inclusive, and makes coming to work really fun. We have meaningful discussions about hot topics to ensure we're ourselves actively improving our internal people management.
- Learning and growth fostered and encouraged. I've moved into many different roles at Zenefits based on my interests, and have had unlimited personal and professional growth opportunities.
I've been here for a long time and have seen management and the business change. I can say 100% these changes have been for the better and I LOVE working here now.Cons
I would have said a month ago that it's difficult to keep up with the new faces as we hire new employees, but recently Zenefits started doing happy hours to welcome each new class and that's no longer an issue.
Advice to Management
Keep up the transparency into company goals and obstacles!

Pros
Positive work culture focused on delivering a great customer experience. I'm respected for my contributions and have the ability to make improvements daily. The leadership is transparent when it comes to our objectives.
Cons
No job is perfect, but this is best job I've had in a relatively long career, so I've got no complaints.

I worked at Zenefits full-time
Pros
The product really was unique and revolutionary (if you can use that word in the HR and benefits space). There was an energy and passion that I hadn't yet encountered in other work environments and haven't encountered since.
Cons
The company grew too quickly and learned some hard lessons. Towards the end, it didn't really value its people. Your job always felt in jeopardy.
