Pros

- fast pace - some talented people

Cons

- alot of egos - from the top - Sten is involved for every decision - from hiring to what the app looks like to prioritisation to pricing changes - more than micro manages - everything has to get passed by him, like a mini elon musk - 'no chinese walls' - no independence for functions - ask for forgiveness mentality rather than upfront and honest - under resourced, moral low, focus is on exiting people sten doesn't loike - no work life balance - expect to work like a dog, burn out then youare kicked out

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We know that working in a fast-paced scale-up like Zego comes with challenges, and it’s not the right fit for everyone. But we also believe it’s a place where ambitious people can thrive, grow quickly, and make a real impact. That said, it's important to us that every Zegon feels supported and respected in their experience here. If you haven’t already, we really encourage you to speak to your People Partner or a trusted member of the team. Your feedback is important, and we'd like the opportunity to understand more and ensure we're supporting you in the best way possible. Thanks again for taking the time to share your perspective.

Pros

- Great company culture. I haven't met one person who isn't great to work with. Even those people right at the top. - The BI team is very strong. - Great tech stack - Work from anywhere policy

Cons

- Work from anywhere policy means you don't have as strong bonds with your team or stakeholders - The growth could be more ambitious
