Pros

- There are some really smart and genuinely good people working there - London office is good when it's clean (which is probably once a year)

Cons

- They sell themselves as an 'online doctor' service, but in reality, the bulk of the business is just selling ED meds (pushing them, really) - Senior management is a joke, they honestly don't know what they are doing, the smart ones join and leave within a few months (check LinkedIn for proof). The CEO has been underqualified for that job since they hit the 100 people mark in late 2018. - All that matters are short term goals, so shifting your product and engineering teams around every 5 seconds because you 'thought of something good in the shower drives people away from the business. - As mentioned before, the smart employees all leave within months, the others are either incompetent or have Stockholm syndrome. - Everything, including decisions takes AGES to do. So actually if you want a pretty sweet dev deal where salaries are pretty good and you have 1/2 or 1/3 of the work you had someplace else, then Zava is the place to be!
