      Pros

      Zinier has a cutting edge product with a huge potential and vision. While, as many other startups, has faced all sort of challenges and what I like to call "growing pains" (some of those, reflected in other evaluations I have seen), the direction of the company is now solid and we are reaching a different level of maturity. We are getting fresh and exciting deals with new customers that I'm sure will take us even further. So far, for me, it has been a journey with things to endure and things to enjoy, but with a great satisfaction of seeing where we are in comparison to where we were only one year ago.

      Cons

      Working in a startup with co-workers and customers distributed globally, you need to make an effort to find your work-life balance.

      Do NOT fall for this trap...

      Pros

      There truly are SOME good people here. I guess if I got anything from this bad experience it was meeting others that I will stay connected with.

      Cons

      Lack of a differentiated product with no market fit. Unrealistic goals and expectations from leadership who clearly have no experience in the space. Toxic culture, knee jerk leadership decisions that result in nothing but pressure and stress. Regardless of your efforts expect to always have a feeling that any day could be your last...

We truly appreciate the feedback and thank you for taking the time to write one, even if not positive, as that shows us how much you care about Zinier’s success. We really wish you were with us to experience the #newZinier which is growing, which has a new leadership model with brilliant new opportunities, a new #hobbyfund and even a #Ztime that lets people take off every first Friday to pursue your hobbies!

      My worst startup experience

      Pros

      There are some people in the company who are genuinely nice. Former management cared about the employees and used to offer good benefits and competitive salaries in the region.

      Cons

      1. There is no development program or career path. Getting promoted depends on how close you are to your boss. Therefore, this system created a very weak leadership in the product and development team, when a person who are not competent is in charge for decisions. It was really demoralizing and almost humiliating. 2. Managers often lie to their employees. 3. After the first layoff, the second wave happened all of a sudden a month after they said NO second layoffs would be followed. 4. Every employee receives a stock option after they work for some times. Unfortunately, people outside the US cannot exercise these stock options and they don't really tell this up front. Many employees only found out later when it's too late. 4. CTOs have a huge ego and are never willing to listen to anyone else's opinions. Almost impossible to work as a team so nothing actually coming out from development.

      Thank you for sharing your detailed perspective and feedback. We acknowledge that the changes / reduction in force were painful to everyone in the company. We have taken feedback from our current and past employees and have instituted the following changes: 1. Created a democratized and distributed leadership structure with accountability and clarity of roles, and brought in new passionate leaders into the company to take us forward 2. Forums for employees to share candid feedback and improvements to leadership 3. Regular cadence of town halls, small group meets, team forums, informal coffee chats and other such avenues that help employees understand the current state of the business 4. Better visibility to the product roadmap and technology initiatives, and how they align with the company vision and mission. We believe these initiatives are fostering a collaborative culture, transparency and set us up for success as a high growth startup. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
