***PLEASE READ-IF I COULD GIVE 8x8 NO STARS I WOULD
I have not been fond of this company during my time here but I've felt the need to write a review in lieu of what has been going on with the Corona Virus over the past few weeks. You would think that a company that sells a platform that allows you to work from anywhere in the world, specifically your home, would have a positive impact of helping companies stay up and running. Instead I see this company trying to take advantage of the pandemic, trying to peddle their product in any way shape or form to keep their stock from plummeting any further than it actually is. Preaching on social media, mainly Linkedin, about how they are helping people all over the world stay safe during this pandemic by implementing their product. Little do people know outside of 8x8 that a vast majority of the company is still obligated to come into work day in and day out because they made a horrific choice of moving into a new building in which they clearly cannot afford. Practice what you preach is a phrase that everyone is familiar with but instead 8x8 and upper management is making their employees slave away in the office while other companies are implementing a work from home policy for the foreseeable future. Jokes on them when they go bankrupt because Zoom and Slack are a far better platform with more up time and reliability. I am ashamed to work for a company and a CEO who's putting their business, platform and stock price before their employees health.
If anyone doesn't think this is real review please look at all the 5 star reviews that seem to be happening on the same exact day trying to cover up the real negative reviews.
I wish I wasn't so infuriated because I would go on about the actual day to day work that makes this company the 30+ year old dinosaur that it is.
Note to Glassdoor- Please look into this company and reviews
