Not engineer friendly - Anonymous employee Zapproved Employee Review

Thank you for writing your review and I felt compelled to respond directly. 2018 was a difficult year for our Engineering team. While that is true, the underlying reason was that Engineering built a great product that the market wanted. This rapid adoption pushed our systems, but every Zapprovian who was part of our journey getting us to this level should be incredibly proud of the hard work they contributed. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you. In terms of the scapegoat comment, this personally hurts. I believe that everyone brings their best to the job and I hope we honor and respect that. However, we also need to reflect and always learn and improve. It is inherent to our culture so that everyone can come along with us on that learning path. I realize that some of that could come across as scapegoating even though it is never my intention. I have sincere gratitude and respect for each of you who helped us get to this stage. What causes the most concern is seeing this post on Christmas Eve. Knowing that you were feeling this way on the holiday weekend makes me very sad. I encourage you to call me or email me so we can process this together over coffee or lunch. I’d never want anyone, current employee or an alum to feel this way. You are clearly someone who is incredibly passionate about your work. If I can ever be of help please call me anytime. -Monica
