Pros

Best job I have ever had but it went down fast, as the Glassdoor Best Places to Work awards accurately show (2022 (#100), 2021 (#22), 2019 (#2), 2018 (#5)). Still has amazing people working there, and I loved working with the products and the customers.

Cons

Where to begin? Before and immediately after its IPO, this was a fantastic company to work for. The COVID boom brought out the best in all of us, and the company, people and its culture thrived. However, as the company expanded, new management brought from less perfoming companies, imposed their own culture, eroding what once made this place great, all in the name of profit. Don't be misled by their talk of a "culture of care"—it's nothing more than lip service, today. When the economy struggles, employees are the first to be sacrificed, regardless of performance. Mediocrity rules as the company no longer wants to be in the lead, but prefers to be "just another one". With Zoom struggling to grow, the company remains stuck in retrenchment, prioritizing cost-cutting over people. Whether by eliminating positions or outsourcing jobs to cheaper labor markets, leadership sees this as the only path forward.

Pros

Nothing about this company is worth noting.

Cons

One of the worst companies I have worked at. Management and leadership are disorganized and unsupportive. Employees get treated like dogs and are talked down to. No work life balance because everything is an escalation or because some “head” requested something. For a company so well regarded, they sure know to how be cheap and take away benefits. Parental leave is basically a slap you in the face. Comp is high but expect to have that dangled in your face or else you get let go. On site lunch and breakfast is nice but how much can you sugar coat the terrible work conditions with little snacks? Everything is such a mess. I’ve been here for almost 7 months and have not met a single person that enjoys their job. DO NOT JOIN ZOOM!
