Zūm Rails has an employee rating of 4.0 out of 5 stars, based on 16 company reviews on Glassdoor which indicates that most employees have a good working experience there. The Zūm Rails employee rating is in line with the average (within 1 standard deviation) for employers within the Financial Services industry (3.7 stars).
I like working at Zūm Rails because it is remote. I can work anywhere as long as I follow the Montreal time zone.
Another aspect I enjoy is the fact that there is not much bureaucracy; I need to get my work done, and everyone is happy.
It is also very nice to attend important company meetings, speak, and propose ideas. For example, it is nice to see a product feature that you proposed being developed and going live.
Cons
Since everyone is remote, there is no way to get the entire team together; this is a con. Sometimes, the team gets too cold, and it is good to have an office to go to and work together with coworkers, but it's understandable.
It might be good to encourage the team to get together in different locations.
- The work you do is clearly visible to its contribution in the overall success of the company, what you do has an impact
- Always new and exciting projects as things are constantly growing, an agile company, not your 9-5 where you are just a cog in a big machine
- It's no longer a startup, a funded series A now has us operating in full growth mode, which brings a new energy and pace with it
Cons
- With so many opportunities and sales growth, being able to quickly add products and features is always hard to tackle at the ideal pace, but a good problem to have
- Still some growing pains expected for a company in growth mode. Being able to recruit and maintain a bench of all stars can be a difficult task.
