Pros: The engineers are humble and brilliant. Everyone is scrappy. The ego-to-skill ratio is <1 across the board. Teams are extremely fast moving. The company is extremely good at shipping V1 products and spiral designing the best solutions to actual customer needs with real world learnings. It's a rocket ship. Zipline is a place where you will viscerally feel the impact of your work. You can't help it. There are very few places where "impact" is measured in terms of direct quality of life improvement of your customers. Health outcomes literally equating to the number of children vaccinated, number of mothers saved from postpartum hemorrhaging, elimination of waste in medical systems, number of COVID-19 tests processed... It feels cliche this but it's true, the work Zipline does every day saves lives. Zipline is definitely not perfect - and going through many growing pains. But leadership has been reacting quickly, and is continuously course correcting while listening to employees.

Cons: The work Zipline has cut out for it is only getting harder. This is the kind of problem that excellent engineers salivate over. Hard, fun problems that have very real world consequences (both positive and negative). But this comes with large amounts of pressure to make this happen. Scaling technologies that have a hardware component in the field like this is extremely difficult. Zipline is not in the SaaS business - which comes with a large number of very real challenges, but also has powerful ramifications for operating at multi-national scale. Zipline is also in direct competition with some of the best funded companies in the world in the race to perfect instantaneous logistics.

Pros: * I really love the team I worked with. Every individual was dedicated and brilliant and most importantly, a joy to work with. I miss my team the most! * I felt challenged by the work every day. We were definitely pushing the envelope and learning a lot and I regularly saw good work rewarded. * The Half Moon Bay ranch is simply beautiful. I'll never forget those sunsets! * It's easy to get out of bed with the reality and impact of my work.

Cons: All good things must come to an end.

Pros: Its refreshing to work at a place where really everyone wants to be there

Cons: I have no reasonable complaints about Zipline
