Pros

Having been at Zonar for almost a year, I can happily say that my experiences here have all been very positive. Having come from a much larger software company, the transition to a smaller company has been a very refreshing change of pace. From the technical side of things, you get a lot of exposure to many different technologies, languages, and tools. For those eager to learn, it is definitely an excellent way broaden your skills. While ramp-up and learning everything may seem daunting at first, there are some very knowledgable people working at Zonar, and everyone is always willing to help. Don't be afraid to ask questions...even if it is the same question over and over again. The various engineering teams work closely together to ensure a good product makes its way to our customers. Developing internal tools, documentation, and brining in new ideas is well received and encouraged by your co-workers. As far as software shops go, Zonar has a great work life balance. Working overtime isn't something you need to do in order to get all your work done. In addition, putting in extra time and effort is noticed by others and your extra efforts are acknowledged.

Cons

Some software tools and libraries may be a little dated, but there is good internal push to move to newer versions or replacements.

Pros

The only reason to work for this company is out of desperation, complacency, or lack of experience. About the only thing they have going for them is the involvement of personal/work life (if you're into that sort of thing).

Cons

Almost everything in the interview was misleading. They're not actually following standards, aren't using recent versions of anything, don't follow best practices for source control or software development, are using employees like monkeys, aren't flexible to new processes, use word-of-mouth to convey important team-altering information, regularly have emergency issues during off-time, avoid or ignore employee issues, and the list goes on. The biggest issue is a stead-fast aversion to change by most of the management with an attitude like a ostrich with a head in the stand.
