Did not get past the engineering manager interview, but it was overall a great experience. I genuinely felt like the interview went well, but it's okay; there's always room for improvement!

Zapier Work Experiences
- 5.0Zapier is everything and moreFrontend Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 17, 2023Pros: Zapier lives up to the hype. Zapier's core values are in play every day – it's not just lip service. Here are some examples: * Empathy over ego: As a woman engineer at Zapier, I am comfortable bringing my whole self to work. I have opportunities for growth (that are based on engineering, not interpersonal skills), and my voice is respected/valued. * Grow through feedback: I am encouraged to grow and am given the resources to become the best version of myself. * Transparency: I have the tools I need to do my job well. * Build the robot: The product is exciting and the tech stack is on the cutting edge.Cons: I can't think of any. I look forward to logging into work every day (even Mondays!).
- 3.0Pivoting to a terrible placeFrontend Engineer • Current EmployeeJuly 24, 2023Pros: They pay well, and there are a lot of great people.Cons: Recently, 10% of staff were laid off, concentrating in areas like product, UXR, and data. This helped Zapier make data-driven product decisions that led to their success for the last decade. They are putting all their proverbial eggs in the AI basket and actively neglecting areas of the product to do so. Also, they recently significantly cut work from home benefits, anniversary benefits, conference budget, and bonus payout % for folk in senior positions and below.
