Zocdoc Employee Reviews about "room for growth"

Pros

This is a fantastic place to work as an engineer. The tech team is really solid, comprised of smart hard working individuals. The pay is good, the perks are great, the hours are flexible and there's lots of room for growth. I've worked as an engineer at 2 other companies and ZocDoc has been by far the best.

Cons

Lots of tech debt. Based on my experience every company has a lot of tech debt, but zocdoc seems to be unusually high. Fortunately we are addressing this problem and I think we are moving in a great direction. Sometimes projects lack direction and clarity, but this is also getting better.

Pros

BENEFITS and Company culture can not beat. I think the only thing better than these two things is the incredible management team. They don't feel your boss they feel like your friend. ZocDoc is a company that cares and makes you feel like you are making a difference and not just working for the man.

Cons

Starting salary could be a little higher. The upside is that their is lots of room for professional growth and they do a very good job of outlining that for you. The possibilities are limitless as long as you are okay with the salary to start.

Pros

-Smart and motivated colleagues who are always willing to put in the work -Beautiful office space in a great location -Awesome catered lunches and snacks -Fun happy hours -Lots of room for growth in the company

Cons

-Long work hours -High turnover rates

Pros

The technology is what it is, not the hype from when it first came out. The top doctors are not using ZocDoc if their business is already thriving. Food was good as well as the benefits

Cons

Work/Life balance doesn't exist. You are treated poorly, and are working crazy hours so that sr. management eventually cashes out, which they will never admit. You don't need an Ivy league degree to make a contribution Middle management plays favorites Just stay away, there are so many innovative forward thinking much cooler companies that have amazing technologies, with room for growth and actually teach people to advance their career. They all have the perks too.

Pros

Free lunch - OK. They use mediocre vendors, you have to be there at 11:30a or you’re going to miss out on the good stuff Healthcare - OK. They claim it’s free but there are many co-pays and many limits to the services provided Equity & compensation - you will be lowballed. And valuation is really exaggerated. Unlimited vacation turns out to be 3 ~ weeks a year usually

Cons

You should think very seriously about accepted an offer to work here. Just a few issues include: very low moral across most of the company (unless you’re in tech where they are insulated), no room for growth and no career pathing, borderline unethical HR practices, and poor management/leadership. Do not allow the sunny disposition of your interviewers fool you. I ignored the concerns raised by other employees on Glassdoor and most, if not all, turned out to be true. My recruiter said many of those reviews were from employees on their own sales team, however, if you look at recent reviews (outside of tech) you will see that many of the issues remain. You have to ask yourself why they haven’t been acquired or gone public in 10 years? I would encourage anyone considering employment at Zocdoc to read all reviews and try to speak to someone on the inside before joining. I would also encourage anyone interested in working there to look at the numerous lawsuits filed by former employees against the company. You should also consider googling to see all law suits from previous employees. I thought I’d give myself a year in this company but I’m getting out of this slowly sinking ship as soon as I can. Other: - no training department - HR is all smiles but not very knowledgeable or professional - very political - no work life balance
