      Pros

      Offers really nice pay and will allow remote work. Really nice coworkers to interact with and get to know on a personal level.

      Cons

      If you work for ZCS itself remotely you will have it really nice. If you work on site at the CO facility then prepare for being treated as a second class citizen. After the Global Thermostat merger, many enticing benefits were offered to keep talent but then proceeded to slowly let people go. It’s a fundamental difference between remote workers who are competent at design but have not built a full scale system before not listening to employees who have and failing to address design flaws that have already been tested and failing to commit to a design to build to actually see if the design will work relying too heavily on simulations. Severe mistrust of the CO locations people/data with a head CTO that wants hands on micromanagement in every decision. Pay difference between remote workers and CO location is pretty dramatic from the people I’ve talked with. Take what I say with a grain of salt as a former employee, but understand that whatever ZCS says from a management pov is likely bat guano. If you get an interview and at the CO location, ask about the merger and ask where the employees are now after 6 months of that happening.

      Pros

      Strong team environment with everyone working towards the same goals. Unlike so many other places, the different departments here all work together and happily collaborate on projects. The management team is great about having an open-door policy and helping with any issues that come up.

      Cons

      There are a lot of things going on at once, so it might be difficult for people who aren't great at prioritizing their work or tracking multiple projects simultaneously.

      Pros

      There are some really great people that work here.

      Cons

      The management has really poisoned this company in my opinion. The mission started out great, but the execution has been done poorly and there is no real business plan. The direction of the company and its priorities change based on the whims of the C suite. There is an emphasis on finding the "right answer" instead of trusting real data. They also heavily "encourage" good reviews on here so I would take those with a grain of salt. Different teams are treated differently, but management is quick to blame and if you get on their bad side it makes life at work miserable for you. I never had the worst of it, but found it very difficult to watch some of my colleagues be treated so unfairly. I saw this company through a lot of changes over the years and I used to love working here. I tried to make it work, but I eventually took a pay cut to get out.
