Been at Google 10+ years. Have a job opp with Zoom but a little worried to jump given widespread tech layoffs. Would be a promo jump and a sizable lift in TC. How’s everyone feeling about Zoom? How’s the work there?
Is Zoom still hot in the post-pendemic era?
That’s somewhat my question. They appear to still have growth ahead with their platform and enterprise play, and the brand has become a household name so I believe they have a strong future. But unsure of how they’ll weather the 2023/24 storm ahead of all of us.
Zoom is doing well also profitable and have 5.5B cash, CEO mentioned in the townhall that there won't be any layoffs which I believe as well considering the client base Zoom has the future products
You’re going to zoom!!?? Did you fall on your head? Why would you do that, even if they 3x your pay. That place is a 💩 show. Entire engineering team is in China. Be prepared for the 996 culture . Zoom doesn’t and will never do anything innovative, it’s like the webex of yore.
You are all making sound like it is a CCP subsidiary, isn’t it ?
Don't mean to scaremonger but Zoom doubled in size to 10k since 2020 and their revenue growth has been flattening since atleast 2 quarters. Read the tea leaves. Joining after a potential layoff is the best case scenario maybe?
6k*~
Everyone who started with me at Zoom have all left within a year
CCP company 😂😂🖕 stop the Chinese mafia
Hey, "it's better than an India company." You are saying this.
Really good growth right now and opportunity to innovate! Also about 5 billion cash on hand? definitely a lot better poised than a bunch of other 20 billion mrkrt cap companies! Eric also confirmed in all hands that he will not do lay offs.
Revenue flattening. Where is the growth?
Oh yeah the latest innovation of zoom https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/7/23446136/amc-zoom-rooms-theaters-meetings
Was at Google and now at Zoom as a SWE. Honestly it depends on the team but I much prefer my current situation and team and being fully remote. Yes, sometimes you need to work with the China team but that’s maybe once a week for me when we sync, otherwise we can work without having to be on at the same time. To whoever said Zoom can never be innovative, you’re not paying attention at the companies projection. Understandable to be fearful of layoffs , I don’t think they’ll happen but maybe wait it out but the CEO is a unique one and his words have held weight thus far
What innovation is zoom bringing?
Besides a sophisticated backdoor Trojan on every device installing zoom, Getting a google employee to join zoom would be pretty innovative imo 🤣🤣
we just released zoom for tesla🫡🤗 https://twitter.com/jaypatel0101_/status/1590093546622976000?s=46&t=PnRe0CJagjhNegrKrFq8sQ extreme innovation 🚀
Hahahaha the last thing you need is a driver distracted and attending a zoom call 😂😂😂🙃🙃🙃
What’s the lift in TC and promo? If it’s a career development move take it.
