Reviews
Jay’s strengths are his integrity, his transparency and his passion for what he is doing and the company. His authenticity and commitment raise the bar for the rest of us working here. If he, with his wealth, success, and many years is still coming in and giving it is his all, how can I do any less? With Zenefits, Jay did not come to “get a ring”, he came to turn around a difficult situation which is a credit to his character and an inspiration to the rest of us that work here.
Jay is a leader unlike any other. He came into Zenefits with an uphill battle, and has succeeded in turning our ship around from every aspect of our business including strategy and sales to culture and community. He communicates regularly, clearly, and prioritizes keeping employees in the know. There is no smoke and mirrors with Jay Fulcher, and for that I am truly grateful!
Jay is one of the most exceptional leaders I have had the pleasure to work alongside. He leads first by living his values, speaking truth, and instills confidence across all levels of the organization to reach our maximum potential and accomplish great things.
Jay is a great leader. He interacts with everyone in the company no matter their role and really makes everyone feel a part of a winning team. When challenges arise, he’s up front about problem areas in a way that inspires action.
Jay is an incredible leader. He joined Zenefits and immediately impressed me with his transparent leadership, accessible leadership style, and knowledge of our SaaS/HR/HCM space.
Understands the pulse of the company and the customer, how to make sure the company is focused on customer success rather than quick wins.
He’s always really accessible to absolutely everyone in the company. He’s helpful and there’s no job or meeting too small for him.
