      Tough place to grow - Senior Software Engineer Moz Employee Review

      Pros

      - Inclusive, considerate culture - High base compensation in lieu of merit-based bonuses - Good place for employees to do the standard 9-5 and nothing more

      Cons

      - No business growth means no business need to grow employees. Many high performing employees fresh into their careers are leaving or in the process of leaving knowing there is no upward mobility. - In "maintenance mode", optimizing the costs to stabilize and run their core business. No investment in innovation with a culture that doesn't facilitate going the extra mile means you're not working on anything exciting.

      Thank you for the feedback, and for the three years of service. Your comment about innovation being stymied in part due to the employee culture is insightful. We are working to improve the ability for engineers to contribute and advance their careers in a lower growth environment. One of the ways we are are exploring is by allowing engineers to lead work on a project basis and have significant discretion on the team direction and work prioritization.

      Pros

      Strong company culture that values innovation, collaborative teams with smart colleagues, access to cutting-edge SEO tools, supportive leadership that encourages learning, and plenty of opportunities to work on impactful projects.

      Cons

      Processes can feel slow at times for decision-making, workload spikes during product launches, some departments operate in silos despite efforts at alignment, compensation could be more competitive for the industry, and remote work policies were occasionally inconsistent.

      Pros

      Strong autonomy, interesting projects, good relationships with coworkers, plenty of room to grow internally, learning opportunities, remote work friendly, high pay for my field when I worked there.

      Cons

      Overwork, very low respect from corporate, low transparency from corporate, repeated layoffs damaging morale, hollowing out of unique benefits made overall package less competitive, Ziff Davis slowly killing a once great company.
