Zwift Engineering Department Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
super fast paced but with a very supportive team, change takes too long tho
Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
they are candid, show emotion and handle real questions
Review from Engineering Dept
Many goals and aspirations to take Zwift to the next level.
Review from Engineering Dept
Care about the employees as people. As an example, reminding people to take time off, and they haven't forced people to go back to the office
Review from Engineering Dept
They advocate for the product and use it in their daily lives not just as a product to profit on but a product they are proud of.
Review from Engineering Dept
They are collaborative, transparent and candid.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Remember that individual contributors matter. Backfill positions so we aren't all super burned out. Allow us to ask questions post company update without being censored. Be open and honest ie celebrating the intern summit when tons of people got covid feels dishonest
Review from Engineering Dept
- empowered teams - clear articulation of long term vision - empowered HR team that can make decisions on behalf of leaders
Review from Engineering Dept
Listen to your employees. Take constructive feedback. Stop knee jerk reacting to everything the board says. Stop saying your a "product lead company" and actually lead the company with product innovation.
Review from Engineering Dept
Understanding our niche, identifying and fostering talent, setting up individual contributors for success through planning done at the higher levels, setting realistic expectations.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership needs to be more timely in the recognition and advancement of high performing employees. The desire to keep everyone in a framework that is rigid (except when it's not for certain people), sandbags growth and earning potential. Employees will start to find fair compensation elsewhere.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
benefits - especially health and dental/vision
Review from Engineering Dept
HSA health insurance premium is very inexpensive.
Review from Engineering Dept
Unlimited time off and feeling that I can actually take time off if needed.
Review from Engineering Dept
The salary is very competitive for a remote friendly company
Review from Engineering Dept
I love the equipment budget
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I am doing the same work ss people getting paid 20k more than I am, I am qualified for the same job at other companies that pay way more, and we have folks still paid hourly that get very little sick time and vacation time and can't participate in product time off due to no vacation time
Review from Engineering Dept
One of only a few developers working on a key product. A salary bump would be appreciated.
Review from Engineering Dept
I took a pay hit to come and work at Zwift. But the company culture, my manager, my director, and my co-workers have made working here an amazing experience.
Review from Engineering Dept
It's the "compensation depending on location" factor that arose globally last year. I work for the company remotely, and they pay me more than the average people of my position in my location, which is less for the same position in the company for another location.
Review from Engineering Dept
There's little management or leadership oversight on my day-to-day from my department so a lot of my contributions go unnoticed. I've become a reliable source of knowledge and experience when it comes to problem solving or getting things done. A promotion and raise is long overdue.
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
passionate, talented, wonderful folks who care deeply about the work
Review from Engineering Dept
the people are so supportive and have my back
Review from Engineering Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
the office is lovely and the people are the best
Review from Engineering Dept
The culture is energetic, inclusive and diverse. I especially like the "all you can eat" fitness culture, which is there for you if you want it.
Review from Engineering Dept
People are kind and collaborative. I don't see people acting like jerks to others.
Review from Engineering Dept
I really like the autonomy that each contributor has to make an impact and it is promoted throughout the company despite ones title.
Review from Engineering Dept
Very collaborative. We celebrate our successes and examine our opportunities candidly.

What makes you most happy at work?
working on cool features and seeing them launch
Review from Engineering Dept
my coworkers and the people
Review from Engineering Dept
When I can work without interruption from Slack, and at the same time, not have Slack FOMO; a balance that's hard to strike. This is usually best achieved on company last Friday of the month "day off," when most people do take the day off, and aren't around to message on Slack.
Review from Engineering Dept
The people that I work with
Review from Engineering Dept
I get to work on something that is technically challenging and I know I won't be bored. I'm always on the edge of my seat and have a healthy sense of urgency to get the job done.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Stop hiring "product" people and middle managers to fill chairs and make the company look attractive for an IPO. Start hiring people with gaming backgrounds who are ready to put hands on keyboards and get things done.
Review from Engineering Dept
I would like my contributions to be acknowledged, my knowledge and suggestions not always getting challenged or overruled, and to be fairly compensated.
Review from Engineering Dept
I'm burned out - for salaried employees Zwift boasts unlimited PTO, but my manager is reluctant to grant over a certain amount and does not differentiate between vacation and sick leave, so I find myself working through fatigue and sickness for the chance to maybe have time off for the holidays.
