      Bad, reckless managers trying to shame employees - Software Engineer Zoom Communications Employee Review

      Pros

      The US team is trying hard and has a good attitude, despite the bad work and petty antics of the China team.

      Cons

      Toxic culture. Managers and employees from China, where "saving face" is extremely important, are constantly trying to shame and embarass US engineers. We in the US don't consider an obsession over "losing face" to be anything but primitive, but the China team considers it deadly serious and they thrill in trying to make us lose face with a constant stream of contrived complaints.

      Pros

      Nothing about this company is worth noting.

      Cons

      One of the worst companies I have worked at. Management and leadership are disorganized and unsupportive. Employees get treated like dogs and are talked down to. No work life balance because everything is an escalation or because some “head” requested something. For a company so well regarded, they sure know to how be cheap and take away benefits. Parental leave is basically a slap you in the face. Comp is high but expect to have that dangled in your face or else you get let go. On site lunch and breakfast is nice but how much can you sugar coat the terrible work conditions with little snacks? Everything is such a mess. I’ve been here for almost 7 months and have not met a single person that enjoys their job. DO NOT JOIN ZOOM!
