Pros

This is a company who cares about their employees. On top of that, there are so many opportunities for growth along with the company. The company culture is very open where anyone who has any ideas on how things can improve will be heard. I've had hour long conversations with our software engineers on new application feature ideas that I've had, and my role at the company has absolutely nothing to do with software development. This company cares. Eric Yuan, the CEO, makes sure to seek out new ideas from his employees and is always very gracious when employees show dedication to the company. I wouldn't want to be working anywhere else.

Cons

Long hours. Don't come to work for Zoom unless you believe in this company. You can expect some very long days and weekends every now and then.

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
