Pros
Knowledgeable and good team spirit, salary is good compared to other companies in the same industry.
Cons
Initially, working at Zevo was a genuinely positive experience. The environment was healthy, the team spirit was strong, and it truly felt like a good place to grow professionally. However, following the investment and the arrival of new management, the organisation quickly took a turn for the worse. Toxic individuals were promoted into positions of power, and a culture of fear, favouritism, and dysfunction became the norm. The company slowly became a shadow of what it once was. Employees were treated poorly, many of us endured emotional distress that went unnoticed or unacknowledged. I personally had to seek therapy to process what I experienced, and I made HR and the COO fully aware of my situation. Despite that, little to nothing was done. The environment became so toxic that many former colleagues now refer to it as a "war zone." A recent lunch meeting with several past employees only confirmed this shared trauma, we were all just relieved to be out.
Talented and dedicated team members were pushed out, just to benefit unqualified friends of leadership. The focus shifted from progress and innovation to personal gain and maintaining a facade. Even basic things, like updating the company website became impossible tasks for management. It’s truly sad to see how far the company has fallen. What was once promising is now unrecognisable. It's sad when everyone who left felt the same. I strongly advise others to stay away from Zevo, either as contractor or an employee.
