Zego Insurance Reviews

Ego driven leadership which is spreading further downstream. People doing jobs they have no clue how to do leading to complete lack of awareness to the chaos it is causing. Completely ridiculous and unachievable deadlines set by a CEO who now is also the CPO. Really not a great feeling going to work every day to break your neck to try and meet said deadline only knowing you will fail. And when we did fail our friends and colleagues lost their jobs as a result. The way in which that message was conveyed to those affected and those left behind was just cold. The level of communication in the aftermath was just non existent. People expected to just pick up the pieces, when asked who would now do the jobs of those who left we got told to figure it out. Labelling your engineers as lazy and that they should carry out their own testing is nothing short of naive. Even with a testing function we released a product that was heavily full of bugs knowing this fact because meeting the deadline became more important than the standard of what we produce. Zego before Ego is a slap in the face as a value when the very people setting these values can't uphold them.

The business is failing sadly. Two redundancy rounds this year so far; a lot of good people leaving; subpar leadership decisions; creeping micromanagement; high burn rate; increasing churn rate on b2c & b2b. Considering we are about to enter a recession I think the markings are on the wall. I don't think Zego will go out of business, but it will do so badly that more redundancies are made, more market position is lost and eventually they will be bought out by a bigger competitor like Aviva. My advice for anyone thinking of joining: know what you are getting yourself into. There is always risk in any job, but it is extra high at Zego unfortunately.
