Pros

The benefits offered are exceptional, with health insurance that provides excellent cost and coverage. We also partner with one of the top fertility specialists in the industry, and you can enjoy unlimited DTO, subject to your manager's approval.

Cons

The culture within the organization has become toxic, largely influenced by the employee services organization, often referred to as human resources. This group is responsible for shaping the company culture, yet many of its members exhibit behaviors that can be quite detrimental. They tend to be accusatory and are quick to assign blame rather than fostering collaboration and seeking solutions. It is unfortunate to witness how this department drives away valuable talent.

Good culture, but org and priorities need work

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good culture, loved my peers and manager - Onsite trips to a ZG office and team bonding retreats at their HQ in Seattle - Good benefits (health, gym reimbursement, etc.)

Cons

Was unfortunately impacted by layoffs earlier this year and can only speak to Agent Software and Acquisitions - not a typical 'SaaS' sales role if that is what you're looking for. Most of your day will be spent cold calling real estate agents and brokers that have been called numerous times by other reps. Performance management expectations, at least while I was there, WAS UNREALISTIC. Miss one month and you're practically on a PIP. Miss three months in a row and you are done - if management thinks this is a sustainable way to keep talent, they are so far beyond reality. I'd recommend ZG as a company for the people and the benefits, but I heavily encourage you to ask about their performance management expectations. If it's not changed from how I described it, run.
