Pros

No pros if it costs you your dignity and peace.

Cons

The problem here at zinnia is of culture. Current management thinks that hiring from IITs, NITs will fix. The upper management doesn't trust its engineering managers. In few teams you can witness 2 people handling a team where 1 is for placing the estimations. Every day there is a fire fighting, chaos. Everything is urgent. It's us vs them culture. Tech stack is obsolete. Heavy functional work, staying too long here means sabotaging your career. Keep zinnia as a last option. Not recommended. Do read se2 reviews.

Pros

They drive you hard and you learn a lot. Most of these reviews seem like theyve been listed by people who are afraid to put the time in to learn, or gave in under the pressure.

Cons

Learning curve is a bit high, but through conversations with employees you learn a lot.

Pros

Hybrid work is nice and sometimes we get lunch.

Cons

Disorganized leadership team that never come into office which causes low morale. Wheels spin in circles and promises get broken and nothing ever actually gets done. The elitism is through the roof- execs and senior leadership only talk to each other and do not care for their teams. My team has personally been the victims of terrible treatment from above. There is little to no mentorship or career opportunity growth. The overuse of AI is absurd- no one thinks for themselves anymore. There is NO authenticity.
