LegalZoom reviews

The culture in this company has completely changed over the past few years. For a long time there was a tradition of maintaining employee satisfaction and high levels of morale, however over the past few years many internal changes and bad decisions were made that were extremely detrimental to the overall workforce. Very high levels of attrition, good talent is leaving for many reasons, C-Team is old and haggard and has got to go. John Suh needs to be replaced by a real CEO, the company was more efficient and better positioned before he was appointed CEO, back when Brian Lee (the real brains of the company) was still there, LegalZoom had potential, if they keep John Suh as CEO, Primera will lose the $250 million they dumped into this empty shell of a company. There has been a pattern over the last 3 years of the CEO liking an idea (whether his own or from the R&D team), launching it full force without doing his due diligence and really researching and contemplating the consequences of these ideas failing, and when they do eventually fail, he chalks it up to 'celebrating failure'... Celebrate failure, yeah by laying of 30 employees (many tenured) to try and make up for the millions you wasted on ideas that weren't properly executed, all because you have to be in control of EVERYTHING! Frank the President and COO has been there for just as long as John, he's a good leader, but not in that environment. At this point he just needs to stick around long enough for his shares to mature, dump them, make his $10+ million and move on to another start up that will value his experience.

If you go through the reviews here and it doesn't immediately slap you in the face that you should avoid working here... well... then you deserve to work here. Lies, deceit, poverty- if you saw these in reviews you may think hyperbole. Except you are not reading or writing a novel. I will raise my hand shamefully.... I drank the kool-aid. I spent years working in an environment that constantly told me there was something wrong with me instead of all the other immature, misguided, lying and integrity devoid individuals that flock to this place as if they're migrating south for the winter. You will lose at LegalZoom because it is that broken. There is no team worth being on. You can tell in the reviews that come from corporate in CA and the reviews of those on the front lines in TX. The message is the same. And if something is happening at the top, really good chance it's rolling downhill. If you are genuinely a good person and you want to test your resolve in a gauntlet of lies, man babies, confusion and mass exodus from all that is right and truthful, LOOK NO FURTHER! There remain some co workers I will miss. But all of us who tried to fight the good fight have left.
