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