Pros

* Deep versatile product with experienced/knowledgable developers and architects * Relaxed culture with strong work/life balance at all levels of the company * Experienced, well paid, and committed employees * Decent benefits with standard software company staples (free drinks, healthy snacks, pong, pool, occasional happy hours) * HR and IT willing to embrace innovative solutions, ideas, and tools * Consistently improving leadership team * Values are great and not just corporate nonsense * Employees have an ability to make a substantive difference here * Great to simply work for a company where problems get solved and things get incrementally better

Cons

* Some definite missteps with previous leadership that continues to get solved as the executive team narrows and evolves * The products "bleeding edge" embrace of Docker for scalability and ease of upgrade made for a very bumpy ride that took a while to smooth out * No 401K match, but there is a desire to eventually deliver on it and not an attitude about it * Location limits candidate pool if people are too remote and the job calls for someone local * Employee focused culture keeps low performers on staff for longer than some other companies would

Pros

The Zenoss culture is supportive and collaborative. If you are a software development primadonna, look elsewhere. We all work together to create the best IT monitoring software on earth. And like a great team, we celebrate each other's achievements. We work together and win together on a GCP cloud stack with Docker containers, microservices, MongoDB, Firestore, GraphQL apis feeding a VueJS front-end. Flexible work schedule, work from home options, and a management team that keeps it real. You are informed of top-level decisions and why they were made. Every C-Level executive has an open door policy if you ever want to chat. The structure top-to-bottom is hands-down industry best practice. Zenoss is worth your time to check out.

Cons

It used to be no stay-at-home option, but that is gone now.

Pros

Amazing, passionate technical talent -- the staff that remain at Zenoss are incredibly bright

Cons

- No dedicated sales leader and only a couple of sales reps left on the sales team, so no new sales - Whatever is happening in marketing isn't working, so no new sales - There's no product management, so engineering is busy developing features with very little input from or regard for what customers actually want/need - Customer support, success, services, and operations teams keep getting hit with layoffs due to floundering new sales while marketing org inexplicably remains mostly untouched (except for losing a backfill after someone left) - At this point the only value left in the company is their existing book of business and they're working to destroy that by crippling the teams that keep those customers renewing
