Pros

My team was great and I miss working with many of the folks in different departments. My boss was an intelligent and admirable guy, and through him, I learned a lot about the business. There are some very talented and genuinely nice people spread throughout the company who are willing to help you if you ask. I enjoyed going to work everyday, and I was proud of what the company was trying to do in the legal industry. Like any corporate entity, there are brilliant minds, miserable jerks, and sea of faces you'll never meet. If you're lucky to work for one of the good managers, they'll help guide you through it. The compensation and benefits were ample and HR was always easy to work with if any issues arose.

Cons

Similar to another post on this site, I was also laid off without warning earlier this year, hence the low rating. Admittedly, I too bought into the "people matter" mantra so I was blindsided by the unexpected betrayal of my loyalty. This was the place I felt was least likely to leave me twisting in the wind. But, such is corporate life. Obviously, being laid off leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, so I cannot recommend working at Legalzoom specifically because their leadership isn't trustworthy. I will never know if what I was told was the truth or just another executive talking point, so work there at your own peril. At the very least, you'll get some good experience and meet some great people.

Pros

Work life balance is actually great. The people you work with are smart and generally fun to work with

Cons

Roadmap is very disorganized, you kind of have to assume you will work on any random project each day

Pros

Allows remote for the time being

Cons

AI everywhere. It seems like a return to office mandate is right around the corner (no longer allowing new remote employees). Code quality doesn't seem important anymore, only how much you can get done with AI.
