Pros

If you get an offer to work at Zoom, take it. Zoom takes employee happiness seriously and people genuinely love the company. Eric Yuan is leaps and bounds beyond his peers when it comes to CEOs who care. His governing motto is essentially that employees should wake up in the morning happy to go to work; if that isn’t the case, he wants you to be honest about that with management. He also wants Zoom partners to win. He pushes the idea that when they win, Zoom wins. Happy employees who believe in the company also leads to an incredible environment. Everyone is working toward a communal goal; not for simply a paycheck (though they make sure everyone is compensated well above market rate). I absolutely hated leaving the company and only did so because I was presented with an opportunity that changed the trajectory of my career path. If you’re on the fence, consider this the push you need to take the leap. Zoom is worth it.

Cons

I honestly can’t think of any

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
