(That's the official term for a group of zebras. Also a coping mechanism.) We hire stripes, not people. If you're looking for psychological safety, please refer to our disclaimer.
Brochure: "We give honest, kind feedback."
Reality: Public roasting in standup, vague concerns in your review, ghosting in 1:1s.
Brochure: "We invest in our people."
Reality: $0 L&D budget. "Stretch projects" with EOD deadlines. No promotions, ever.
Brochure: "We respect boundaries."
Reality: 11:47 PM "?" from your manager. Saturday standups. PTO requests trigger an HR loop.
Brochure: "Belonging matters."
Reality: The same five Senior Zebras decide everything. Their decisions are "the team's."
Brochure: "Move fast."
Reality: Move fast. Get blamed when it breaks. Senior zebra takes the credit anyway.
Brochure: "Stand out by being yourself."
Reality: Stripes must be uniform. Variation will be flagged in MemoryVaultβ’.
All postings are deliberately vague. Salary "competitive" (meaning we'll low-ball you). Remote-friendly (meaning we'll track your green dot harder).
