Pros
- If you like to be micromanaged, this is the place for you. - If you like to have a lot of meetings where program managers get status from everyone but no decision is made to resolve issues, this is the place for you. - If you are a VP or above, you will get many perks and may get to keep company car if you are fired. Always additional RSU to compensate for declining stock value. - 401K match is starting in 2024. - partial employee discount on Lucid cars, but the discount counts as income
Cons
- Onsite full time, where people joined Zoom from their desks since meeting rooms are not big enough. - Promotions are given out based on relationships to your manager, so it’s better to be a yes man. Having a different opinion could get you sidelined or even fired. - Company culture is top-down, so micromanaging is the standard. - Collaboration is difficult to get because people always think if you are trying to take their job or credit. - Compensation is below Bay Area standard, and RSU has no upside. - Bad work/life balance. Company wants to squeeze every ounce out of you.
