Pros

Excellent training is provided when joining the company and continuous support is given by management and throughout the business. Communication is handled very well and is transparent. All teams are easily accessible via multiple channels which allows seamless interaction, even though the HQ is in LA! This is definitely a career move that I do not regret.

Cons

Due to the HQ being in LA, response time can be challenging but there are processes and solutions in place that are continuously being developed.

Pros

Great management, supportive and approachable. The product is excellent although like everything in life, could do with more refining. The technical team is always willing to listen and make changes to make life easier and the product more efficient. Products are interesting and ever evolving, so the learning never stops. The company will teach you as much as you're willing to learn. I thoroughly enjoy working for Zip, one of the best career choices I've ever made.

Cons

HQ is in LA so the time difference can be challenging but solutions are being made to support international teams.
