Pros: I join with real doubts about the viability and the long-term commitment to their mission. I'm happy that my experiences have squelched any doubts. Zipline is full of people that love what they do, and the mission is alive and well. I've really found that everyone is a pleasure to work with, something I've never seen in my career. This is also the first company I've seen that really lives their values. Transparency is really valued and management is open and honest, and welcomes being challenged. This is also the most diverse SF company I've been a part of. It's nice being somewhere most meetings aren't all dudes.

Cons: Zipline has no shortage of problems. The work isn't easy and there's definitely an emotional burden I apply to myself. There are growing pains, many of which should be avoidable, but generally things have gotten better in my year here.

Pros: Awesome work culture and people.

Cons: hr process is a bit messy but it's just growing pains since the company moves so fast

Pros: Management invests in everyone, this combined with continued business success and interesting technological challenges has created a good opportunity to grow for anyone willing to work hard. Moral coworkers - strong desire to do the right thing.

Cons: Zipline has always been lean. This is good in that it allows a small strong team to move fast, and layoffs haven't happened, and engineers can have greater ownership over their work. But it does mean that teams can be stretched thin from time to time.
