Pros

- Speed and ability to execute were great. Loved the engineers I worked with - Ambitious culture that pushed us - Collaborative culture (when I started, but not anymore)

Cons

Senior leadership within the Online org has created a toxic, cutthroat environment. The culture is no longer data-driven, and management lacks basic empathy for employees, making the workplace incredibly uncomfortable and driving high turnover.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for your contributions over several years. It’s great to hear that you valued the speed of execution, collaboration, and the opportunity to work alongside talented engineering teams during your time at Zoom. It's unfortunate to hear that your experience was impacted by concerns about leadership and organizational culture. Creating a workplace where employees feel respected, supported, and empowered to collaborate is essential, and feedback like yours highlights the importance of fostering trust, empathy, and a culture that enables teams to do their best work. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and thoughtful recommendations. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

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
