Toxic culture, poor leadership, lack of direction - Communications Manager Zipabout Employee Review

Generous salary packages, including share options and other benefits Exciting projects working alongside credible partners and clients such as government and global brands – feel like we’re really making a difference, particularly now post-Covid Transparency from leadership with regards to company strategy, goals etc. Unlike other companies, it doesn’t feel as though there is a barrier between leadership and the rest of the team at Zipabout, so everyone is kept in the loop and it makes it feel as though we are all working towards and contributing to the same goals. Autonomy to work flexibly when needed. Zipabout definitely value output (delivering the work that’s needed on time) rather than just clocking in from 9am to 5pm, and as a working parent that’s been invaluable.

Team churn for a variety of reasons means it can be difficult to build consistency and at times small project details fall between gaps Projects move fast and can often change direction because of external factors – this can be challenging without any previous experience in a similar environment HR has been light in the past as with other start-ups I’ve worked at, but is improving

Working at Zipabout gives you the independence to manage your own channels and workload. It's an extremely flexible, fast-growing company where you can take real ownership of your role. It's also incredibly exciting, with lots of expansion and career development on the horizon for its employees. In a nutshell, the pros of working at Zipabout include: - Extremely competitive salaries and benefits - Amazing office space with lots of creative space - A lovely city-centre location with access to great walks, shops and eateries - Top spec equipment provided by the business - Great work/life balance with working from home options - The opportunity to work on a fast-growing product with internationally-recognised partners and clients - A laidback, friendly team where everyone is equal and no one is micro-managed - A very relaxed culture; you're trusted to take ownership of your role and personal development

The culture and work environment don't work for everybody. There is little direction from management or the senior team, but if you enjoy the balance of working independently and collaboratively within smaller teams, you'll love the working style that's in place here.
