ZT Systems reviews

Like a lot of the reviews have stated, the environment IS a little quiet. There is not a lot of cross-department communication, because some managers are afraid of over-sharing information. It is a very traditional type of office, the opposite of a start up culture. If you're looking for bean bag chairs in the lounges and weekly team building paintball outings, this is NOT the place for you. If you're looking for an opportunity to start your career working with a fast-growing technical company, you'll be fine here. It may not be the funnest place to work, but you will learn and get a bit of working experience. I think a lot of the negative reviews on here come from people who maybe expected a higher-energy type of office. ZT is a quiet, get-your-work-done type of environment, and you have to really understand that in order to not dread coming into work everyday.

Below average compensation overall. I think even my manager realizes this, he has given me some off the book benefits, but extend of it is not much compared to a real pay check. ( In my current job and got a 300% raise, Now I make 4 times what I used to. This is not achievable in ZT) Personal connection gets you further than actual abilities. Lack of transparency, HR agreed to pay me a higher salary that what was actually paid. I didn't know until I got my check(this practice is very unprofessional) Although company lists 401k and medical benefit, no one in the company actually gets them. (401k is something like 1;1 match totaling 3%). Medical is ridiculously expensive and not the best(like 350+ per person). These benefits are not worth having(they just mentioned it to have it on the list)
