Tyrannical management. Gross mistreatment of staff. Horrifying leadership. - Marketing Zoom Communications Employee Review

Pros

- Leaving (on my own!) - The book reimbursement program? Does that count? They took away the peer-to-peer program so? Reward yourself with a book! - Working remote so you never have to actually see the San Jose Monsters in person. Oh wait - nevermind, they make you come in now (crazy for a product that was built on remote work - and people dying during COVID!)

Cons

- Just about everything you can think of - bad pay, long hours, personal attacks and insults, zero company backing. - Benefits have decreased each year, while Eric Yuan's pockets have been increasingly lined. - The company makes "partnerships" to hide money in - such as paying employees in Walmart gift cards. - No time off around the holidays. - Definitely some "shady" trading activity in their RSU program from COVID times

Pros

Native C++ client Bar is low for being a domain expert - knowledge the average Silicon Valley engineer should have is somehow in short supply there, so it's easier to stand out Pay was OK, while it lasted

Cons

Repeated rounds of layoffs, with departed colleagues' work being heaped on those remaining, left everyone miserable and stressed and just waiting for when our turn is next. My boss actually announced development was shifting to "startup mode", and when I asked if that means more upside or flexibility or equity or any of the other reasons you may choose a startup over a large established company, the answer was, "no, just more work" (!?!) Serious culture and power divide between overseas and California based development teams. Zero career growth investment in employees; no training or conferences except those offered by Zoom. Fired entire DEI team CEO attended Melania's movie premier
