Zayo Software Developer reviews

I'm an "old timer" at Zayo (which is pretty much anyone that's been here over 3 years). I've seen it grow quite a bit. It's very entrepreneurial. Pay grade is very competitive. They just introduced a new pay structure which gives not only salary and quarterly bonuses, but stock grants as well. It's very generous when taken as a whole. I know some people would rather have all the "bells and whistles" benefits, but I prefer Zayo's method of giving us cash every quarter. Zayo has a 'get it done' mentality that focuses on results rather than company in-fighting. If you recognize that something needs to be done for the betterment of the company, there's not a lot of 'red tape' keeping you from doing it. A co-worker used the analogy of 'building your own tree house' when he came to work here. Zayo is not the kind of company to have lumber and nails on-hand waiting for you, or to even have the tree picked out. If you were hired to build a treehouse, it's your job from the ground up. I hope that Zayo continues to maintain that autonomy as it grows. So, if you want a job where you clock in 8-5 Monday-Friday to do 'safe' work at a company that may grow by 1% a year and holds your hand as you do your job, Zayo is not for you. But, if you want a fast-paced job with potential to earn above and beyond your paycheck in a company that is growing by leaps and bounds, and you're confident enough to build your own treehouse, maybe you fit.
