Pros

People at Zapier are kind, empathetic, and open. I've made good friends here, and it's been a wonderful step in my career. It's hands-down the best culture I've ever worked in.

Cons

Zapier is struggling with equity across teams, countries, and levels.

It's very difficult to navigate Zapier's growth framework, and a very affirmative and overly-positive culture (even if it makes working at Zapier really comfortable!) can make it really hard to advance and grow.

I've struggled to find my place technically, and it's difficult to see my path forward.

Advice to Management

Location-based pay ranges feel like a step away from equity, not towards it.

Simplify and balance out career growth in a way that counterbalances internal politics and that seeks to empower folks with a strong desire to grow, not limit them.
