Pros

Relatively new at DZ, but so far I love it! The team is ridiculously talented and very open to helping out whenever needed. Managers are all very open to suggestions on how to improve the workflow and the work environment in general. Client work is very diverse and always challenging (in a good way (mostly)). There's never a shortage of something new to learn. This is what I love the most about agency vs corporate life.

Cons

I joined in the middle of a growth spurt, so there have been growing pains. Lack of documention and standards was a big one, but the team is working to change that using various markdown platforms. Additionally, because the dev team is so ridiculously skilled, there is the tendency to overengineer things. When documented and implemented correctly, this helps for future scalability, but lacking documention pushes everything to rely on the memory of the devs who built it (some of whom are no longer with the company). Hoping this gets reasonably addressed w/ the aforementioned markdown platforms.

Pros

Working at Zillas has provided endless benefits, including a supportive team, a close-knit company culture, and a commitment to professionalism across all accounts. As an account coordinator intern, I received comprehensive training in position procedures, with the trust to handle specific tasks independently. The open-door policy facilitated seamless communication for questions and support whenever I needed. Zillas encouraged me to explore interests beyond my role, contributing to both my professional and personal growth. I'm grateful to the Zillas team for providing invaluable insights about the industry and fostering lasting connections.

Cons

I find it challenging to identify any drawbacks associated with the Zillas internship program.

Pros

Good culture, decent people. A little catty at times. Seems like a clique that is hard to truly integrate in. I think there are about 3-4 roles that constantly rotate new hires. I only stayed for a few months, and honestly they wasted my time. They frequently “test” new hires. If you weren’t apart of their internship program, they likely won’t keep you.

Cons

I thought I’d stay here long term and suddenly was just let go. I worked day and night, giving my all. I also think they only hire BIPOC based on DEI. They’re the typical “support for social media” bunch, but seem to have different views in person.
