Zulily Engineering Department Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Always open for dialogue and feedback, down to earth, approachable
Review from Engineering Dept
If I approach them with a question or issue during Q&As, they get answered to the best of leaderships' knowledge IF THEY ARE UPVOTED ENOUGH. It would be even better if all questions get answered even if it is after the meeting.
Review from Engineering Dept
Transparency both to myself and the broader org. Clear objectives. I believe they truly want to empower the broader team.
Review from Engineering Dept
It seems like they try and go through the motions of what they think a leader should do and act but they actually fail to be effective leaders. Useless confusion direction, all talk and no action, no planning, no follow through, confused ineffective leadership.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
start with the customer rather than metrics. we are trying to mold our customers' behavior into our business model instead of changing the business model to meet customer needs. I am disenchanted by our direction that over-indexes on price and under-indexes on a delightful experience/innovation
Review from Engineering Dept
make us feel like this ship isn't sinking
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Insurance options for the family
Review from Engineering Dept
I guess the base money since the benefits are meh and $QRTEA isn't exactly doing great.
Review from Engineering Dept
Base pay is decent good.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
we are trying to compete for top engineering talent in Seattle and are not willing to pay for it. most of my team could get $100-150K more at other local companies, and we've collected multiple data point to prove this.
Review from Engineering Dept
stock is losing value, salary increases are not keeping pace with industry
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone is incredibly supportive and it feels like a real collaboration overall
Review from Engineering Dept
Very collaborative, fun and smart folks who will swarm to help each other. Folks are also willing to take me under their wing for mentorships, and I also feel like I have something to share (aka, they are willing to listen)
Review from Engineering Dept
They're a brilliant and fun bunch of people.
Review from Engineering Dept
sense of ownership, the alignment between Product, UX, and Engineering, people acting with empathy and treating each other with respect.

Good people on my team who are easy to work with

You can feel the value of empathy and how Zulily puts people first (both internal and externally)
Review from Engineering Dept
The culture promotes collaboration and cooperation, within each team as well as cross-platform, cross-squad and cross-departments.
Review from Engineering Dept
I think most of the people here really believe in Zulily and do amazing work to try to make the dream work.
Review from Engineering Dept
Opportunity to have impact. We are relatively small, and every line of code written by engineers counts.
Review from Engineering Dept
some of the people, but they are all leaving
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
More vacation time, better parental benefits, better quality managers. Its hard to feel motivated when your up against managers who you dont respect or who are impeding on progress rather than helping.

Review from Engineering Dept
I have a ton I can learn from my manager. I love getting to solve hard problems.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
AMP (Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose) - we are missing all 3. A - teams are held accountable for delivery rather than outcomes. M - we can't hire great engineers (comp) who would raise the bar for others. P - we are a site for cheap stuff, not a #1 online destination for Moms.
Review from Engineering Dept
Too many people are leaving. High turnover and low hiring numbers puts pressure on existing workers which in turn makes them leave causing larger problems. They should not have gotten rid of hack week!! Stealing 1 week of vacation time and not caring how mad we were!
Review from Engineering Dept
I used to be. This is the first job I really liked. Now my team is almost gone and once the next person leaves in a couple weeks it's going to be horrible.
