Pros

The employees give their all, and really want to make a difference.

Cons

Within two weeks of starting at LZ Tax, the culture went from open integrity and honest communication to a fearful dark place. The founder was set aside and everyone clammed up. After 5 months of dedicated work at LZ Tax, I, along with 58 other tax professionals were let go in a 15 minute Zoom meeting. We didn’t see it coming, and were ambushed one morning at the beginning of July. The only explanation given for this rather tacky layoff method boiled down to bad decisions made at the top level. They are now hiring again. Stay away; they do not value employees or honor them; as we are treated as easily replaceable objects.

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

Good benefits and good culture

Cons

Very AI focused with constant fear of layoffs by employees (based on my experience). Pay isn’t great, especially given the current cost of living. Poor communication and planning regarding updates and project rollouts.
