Pros

It was a great culture back in 2020 even if it was. The opportunities were plenty and customers were in need of video competing obviously during Covid.

Cons

Horrible culture began when they change leadership in the ANZ region. They did not promote anyone internally and decided to bring in outside leadership which completely destroyed culture and it became a rotating door of people getting a job and then leaving not long after because they realise how horrible it was.... they decided to throw the cheque-book at people outside the business rather than offering people internally who had succeeded any chance of progression.

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
