There are a lot of great companies working on hard problems, but I've not met people more dedicated to eachother or people who live by their values than at Zipline. It has the challenges of a fast growing company but being able to deliver medical products to all geographies is deeply fulfilling.Cons: It's a fast growing team, and so expect the usual growing pains. People who do best at Zipline are people who are OK with things growing.
