Pros: Zipline is a pretty special place. I have never found a team that is as dedicated and driven. There are some really bright minds at Zipline and they're achieving what even I thought had little chance of succeeding. All the people I worked with were good people. Friendly and eager to help in selfless ways. I honestly thought some were delusional with how convinced everyone was that drones could actually work. When I signed on, I knew it would be an exciting ride but I was still skeptical that this would last more than the money they had in pocket. From friends still at Zipline, it sounds like they've sort of crossed a big hump and now the world is theirs for the taking. I'll be honest with you, if you want a good challenge with good people, Zipline won't let you down. *Software Review* From a software engineer's perspective, I was impressed with the caliber of other engineers and the ability to move at a fast pace without taking on tech debt. Process was lean and trusting and focused on shipping "early and often". Most entirely in Python and C, the team knows when to innovate and when to stick to tried-and-true.

Cons: I was fussy and sometimes even cynical and negative. But in hindsight, I have no regrets on my time with Zipline.

Pros: There are no pros, the leaders at this company are highly incompetent. This is why the company failed to launch a major new retail partner on their app on time and caused them to push back their deadlines.

Cons: Youre senior director will decide on a whim RTO office thats effectively immediately, signal of impulsive leaders. Your manager will give you no actionable advice or roadmap on how to be successful in your role. Your manager will harass/threaten you daily Your co-workers will spread rumors about you, toxic environment. The senior engineers the application team will constantly talk bad about the founder, Ryan, code quality and lack of technical strength. Your manager will expect you to fly to a customer for a simple tasks at moment notice because "everything is better in person".

Pros: The company is really ambitious and is looking to do really exciting work. The pacing of the company is really fast - but they are humane at managing workloads. I have a family and they are very supportive of keeping hours manageable. They also are very supportive when unexpected things happen and really invest in their employees as humans. The team I am on doesn't require people to do weekends or nights - but some people are really motivated and have the flexibility to do that on occasion. It is choose your own adventure with what you want to be responsible for. Everything needs support so you can always take on more responsibility. The company is really focused on doing the right thing morally in how it operates.

Cons: Company is understaffed for the ambitious deadlines. Easy to burn out if you don't pace your self. Definitely not a slow and easy pace of bigger companies like google. This is a startup and survival of the company depends on projects being successful.
