Pros: I’ve worked for all types of tech companies: interned at Google, interned at Airbnb, then worked at a unicorn startup for 2 years before Zipline. While other companies might have better (silly) benefits, better work/life balance, better offices, or better pay, I can affirmatively say I’ve seen no company as great as Zipline. They treat employees with respect and an earnest directness. They don’t have to appease unhappiness with the mission or dissatisfaction with personal growth. Everyone I work with is 100% bought in.

Cons: At the end of the day, Zipline is still *just* a company and it’s still *just* a job. Anyone who expects their employer to provide them happiness is running a fool’s errand.

Pros: Even with the mission pivot, there are some extremely smart people who are all working together in unison. Most people are hungry and kind. If you do good work, you will be rewarded. You get to touch many exciting systems.

Cons: Great individuals but many growing pains that persist and should have been fixed by now, unsustainable work with little confidence in timelines and roadmaps made by leadership

Pros: You get to work on revolutionary tech and lead the change in last mile delivery.

Cons: It is a very fast changing environment with work life balance hard to manage sometimes.
