High stress job with lots of office politics.

Developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You can learn a lot here as a developer. Coworkers are respectful, helpful and are easy to get along with.

Cons

Company sends out memos on a monthly basis with a list of new hires and fires. Constantly feeling like you have to watch over your shoulder. Office politics. Lots of pressure not to make mistakes.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice co-workers, reasonable work-life balance,

Cons

No 401K match, relatively lower base salary, toxic and uninformed executive management

Zonar Systems Response

As some of the comments are outdated please note that: We do have a 401k match which we increased in January 2019. The co-founders departed back in 2016 when Continental AG became a majority owner of Zonar. Appreciate the acknowledgement of nice co-workers and reasonable work-life balance!

Disappointed - has so much potential going unrealized

Business Outlook

Pros

HR is active, current with trends and best practices and supportive of improving Executive Marketing leadership is outstanding There is a core of great people at the company that I like working with Interesting industry and potentially cool technology Reasonable PTO and perks, good base salary

Cons

Picture painted in the recruiting process does not match reality of working at Zonar. Lost its innovation and struggling against competitors Executive product and sales leadership is non-strategic, small thinkers and highly randomizing Execs are not committed to leading, respecting people, or even being good managers Lack of strategic vision = shiny object syndrome and flailing about No bonus payout due to poorly articulated MBOs and failure to engage delivery teams in the commitments Health plan deductible is very high

Zonar Systems Response

At Zonar we strive to be transparent with our employees with our quarterly all hands meetings. We encourage you to come forward with any ideas you have to help get the vision across. Feel free to drop by my desk anytime :) shami.marangwanda@zonarsystems.com
