Pros

When I first joined Zoom in 2021, there were a lot of pros about the company. Stock price was high, employee perks were nice, and the overall culture was great. As an employee you felt taken care of and respected. Working remotely was the norm, and the workload was reasonable.

Cons

With changes in upper management and direct management, the philosophy of personal time became non-existent. My team would work sometimes seven days a week to deliver on extreme deadlines. Policies were put in place that didn’t allow production changes until after working hours, which meant that after working a full day, you had to get back on later to work more. Projects were never organized or tracked properly, and everything became a top priority all at once.

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!
