Zennify Reviews

Pros

Great teams and experience. I had a blast here.

Cons

I don't have any, maybe workload.

Pros

- The People: Zennify is a magnet for quality individuals - Flexibility to Grow: If you have a pursuit in mind, you are given the leeway to pursue and grow as much as you want. - Growing Company: Zennify is growing and yes, that means challenges, pivots, and missteps, but the overall trajectory of where the company is headed is up. - Top Salesforce talent behind summit Level status - Coworkers who are more like teammates that care about the client

Cons

- There is no perfect company, including Zennify. - Prone to the same missteps as every other growing organization - scale appropriately. - Industry-leading offering doing its best to voice its offering in a world of bigger players and deeper marketing pockets.

Pros

When I joined company culture was strong

Cons

Each month that followed teams began operating more in silos, extremely high turnover, no annual review process, C-suite leadership doesn’t communicate well with each other, founders struggle to run a company, received PE funding and blew it quickly, PE firm stepped in majorly to course correct, headcount reduced by 45% in less than a year, promote themselves as a “strategic” partner then bring so much overhead to projects because no one is a domain expert, marketing team is a skeleton crew, delivery team drastically burnt out, smoke and mirrors most of the time, tenure means nothing, health insurance premiums increased, no merit increases for hard work.

Pros

Zennify was willing to train me from scratch and invest in me to get me to the point that I could return the favor. For that alone I could not be more thankful, aside from that they stand out as a company who is really looking out for their employees. In a high burn-out field they staff personal managers to ensure the employees have their needs met and arent stretched too thin. There is also always a large variety of jobs that need doing and Zennify is willing to work with you to make sure you are doing what you enjoy. I decided to move on to take my career in a different direction but I wont forget the opportunity provided to me by Zennify, nor the time I spent with some excellent teams of excellent people

Cons

The transition period from ZAP member to actual working team member was very rough for me, it felt to me as if no one had any idea what to do with me or what I was or wasn't capable of, this transitionary turbulence of course, fades. Aside from that I got the impression that internal organization was something that went through cycles of success and failure, sometimes it would seem everyone was on the same page and other times it was as if no one knew what anyone else was doing or thinking however while this was somewhat concerning, it rarely affected my own work.

Pros

Leadership really cares for everyone. When you look at some other negative posts it usually is a one sided view. Not everything is perfect and never will be but at the end of the day. This company really cares for its employees and tries to lead with transparency more then most companies I have worked for. There is a significant dedication by leadership to win and help each employee win. That can mean different things to different people but leadership really wants individuals to do so. Many at this organization see what we are building and understand what it takes to do so. Leadership has empowered us to ask questions, bring up new ideas and make decisions when necessary. A very innovative company that keeps accelerating innovation through technology and people. From the empowerment of people new ideas are getting generated and we are addressing market issues that other companies are not. A true care for the client. In working with other consulting firms I have not seen the genuine care for the client that Zennify has, really care for what we deliver to the client and how. Because how much leadership cares and is involved with employees being empowered their is a tremendous culture that fosters collaboration.

Cons

No company is perfect. Each company has a responsibility to respond to its own short comings. Most of the time Zennify does a great job. Zennify is typically self aware and understand its blinds spots. Must remain diligent.

Pros

-Great growth opportunities -Learning opportunities -Work/Life Balance -Ability to earn bonuses -Listens to employees

Cons

-Sometimes hard to figure out who can actually make decisions on things that are needed -Not a lot of transparency on pay scales and there are variances in salaries between recent hires and people with more knowledge/skill who have been there longer -Can sometimes feel there's a clique formed between Sales/Marketing with upper management with the rest of the employees being left behind

Pros

Remote friendly (which isn't hard to find these days so that's not exciting)

Cons

Lack of transparency when it comes to the Sales pipeline or financial status of the company Multiple layoffs within a 6 month period after being told things were financially sound and that no more layoffs would be happening. BEWARE: More layoffs are coming in 2023. CEO had a 1:1 with me to acknowledge my hard work/great feedback from peers and offered me stock. He said I would be receiving a letter with more information in the coming week but not to tell anyone. I never received anything regarding stocks. I had PTO scheduled ahead of time for the holidays and ended up getting two other job offers in December so I put my notice in. I had a meeting with HR a couple days later to be let go. The HR manager admitted that upper management indeed decided to let me go early due to the PTO that was scheduled. After almost 3 years with this company and working my butt off for every project, I was screwed over right before the holidays. Zennify's pay scale is way off and you will be severely underpaid and not appreciated - regardless of how hard you work for them. Find a different place to work. Zennify used to be a great company with a great culture, but everything has gone downhill within the past year. I wouldn't recommend working here based on how they treat hardworking employees during their final weeks, their dishonesty about layoffs and financial stability.

Pros

The people are great. The Professional Service Managers (PSMs) in particular were all fantastic. I never had a negative experience with them, and they truly did have my back and fight for me.

Cons

When it comes to growth, management plows forward without any thought as to what they're leaving in their wake. Their desire to get as many customers as possible as quickly as possible leaves the rest of the staff with unclear and undefined scopes, overwhelming workloads, and unreasonable project timelines. PMs and SEMs have way too many projects in their portfolios and are stretched to the point that they're in meetings from sunup to sundown with no time in between to do their actual work. Because of this, it was hard to take PTO, especially if more than one person in your project team wanted to do so at one time.

Pros

Zennify hires kind, caring, and extremely smart people. The people I work with on a daily basis are my favorite part of my job. There is great work/life balance and the organization really does embody this. On paper, great culture and values. Some of those are truly embodied whereas others are not.

Cons

Leadership is incredibly disorganized and consistently hires high-level roles that the business 'needs' with no explanation to the business regarding what value they actually provide. Zennify has trouble with the basics. There is a lot of work to be done scoping projects appropriately so team members aren't burning the midnight oil over weekends. The business will hang on to clients that treat team members poorly if they see the monetary value. Recent layoffs have left team members feeling pretty confused because the reasoning for such layoffs provided doesn't align from meeting to meeting. There is a lack of transparency and obvious financial instability. Additionally, there is no formal professional development provided to team members (unless you want to pay for it yourself) outside of Salesforce certifications. Internal L&D has yet to provide a 'Consulting 101' course and a lot of talent hired has no true consulting background leading to challenges with clients (again, missing the mark on the basics).

Pros

There are no pros unless you like being stabbed in the back.

Cons

Literally zero direction. Huge reorganization all the time. No consistency. Leadership is a joke
