Zoom Continues To Add To Its Workforce After A Historic Year

To say that 2020 was a big year for Zoom would be an understatement. The company sees more opportunities and challenges ahead and is adding to its team. Would a job at Zoom right for you?

How Zoom Serves Its Customers

There's a good chance that many people reading this have used Zoom at least once, or hundreds of times, in their lifetime. But if you're not familiar, Zoom is a cloud-based video conferencing and online meetings service. Zoom's mission is to help businesses and organizations bring their teams together in a frictionless environment to get more done.

Zoom's platform provides video meetings, voice, webinars, and chat across desktops, phones, mobile devices, and conference room systems. Zoom was established in 2011, but very much became a household name in 2020 when it proved to be a lifeline for businesses, schools, and everyday people to stay connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Zoom is headquartered in San Jose, California, and has 16 other offices in the U.S. and internationally. Like many global companies, Zoom also has a large number of remote work opportunities. Job seekers should review all openings carefully to see if there are any location requirements.

Zoom has job openings in sales, engineering, security, finance, product, marketing, customer service, information technology, engineering operations, legal, customer services, and project management.

3 Things To Know About Working At Zoom

Zoom employees have fun during a virtual meeting.

2020 was a banner year for Zoom and the growth continues.

As the COVID-19 pandemic started to take hold in March 2020, Zoom was the most downloaded app in the Apple App Store. The company when from a peak of 10 million daily meeting participants in December 2019 to an average of 200 million daily meeting participants in March 2020, and by April 2020 Zoom was averaging 300 million daily meeting participants—a 30x growth in three months, according to Zoom's blog.

In that time, Zoom went from 2,500 to 4,400 global employees and the company is still growing as more companies commit to remote work for the long term.

Zoom loves to give back.

In addition to major company growth, 2020 was also a year for giving back as Zoom launched its philanthropic entity Zoom Cares. The Zoom Cares initiatives are focused on three core areas: education, social equity, and climate change.

Education was at the forefront of Zoom's charitable efforts in 2020, especially as COVID-19 forced many schools to operate through Zoom. Zoom provided its education service to over 125,000 schools in 25 countries for free during the pandemic, and also provided training and resources to help more than 35,000 educators teach remotely on Zoom as part of its Zoom Summer Academy. The company also donated $1.5 million to organizations helping students disproportionately affected by school closures.

Zoom also donated $250,000 to the Association for the Study of African American Life & History, Equal Justice Initiative, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Zoom offers employees charitable gift matching through the Zoom Cares program so employees can support their favorite causes.

Zoom is proud of its company culture.

Despite rapid growth and working remotely, Zoom has been able to maintain a unique company culture that employees still appreciate. The company made Glassdoor's "Best Places to Work in 2021" list (it also made the list in 2018 and 2019) and has a culture of 4.9/5 on Comparably. Comparably also recognized Zoom for company leadership, compensation, company culture, perks and benefits, diversity, work-life balance, and best company for women.

Zoom's culture is based around a single value: care.

"We encourage Zoomies to care for their community, customers, company, teammates, and themselves," according to the company's blog.

Benefits and perks at Zoom include:

Flexibility in how, where, and when employees work
Competitive compensation and stock benefits
Wellness benefits like a monthly stipend for gym memberships or exercise classes to promote health and self-care
No cap on paid time off
Comprehensive healthcare benefits, including mental health and fertility benefits
Book reimbursement plan to support continuous learning
Additional benefits to support working from home, like home office equipment, home gym equipment, groceries, and even food delivery

TikTok has become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon and has given everyone (everyday people, celebrities, and even politicians) a platform to get creative and build their brands. But creating videos isn't the only way to get creative at TikTok. The company has a number of job opportunities available for creative types who are interested in moving the platform forward.

How TikTok Provides The World With A Unique Platform

Coworkers at TikTok collaborate on a project.

TikTok is the leading destination for short-form mobile video.

TikTok is used by regular people, celebrities, politicians, businesses, sports organizations & leagues, and other brands as a way to entertain and get out messages in a creative way. While there are big names that use TikTok, the platform prides itself on giving lesser-known content creators equal footing to get discovered.

"On TikTok, anyone has a chance to reach an audience, without needing to be a celebrity or social influencer with a large following," the company states on its website.

Many turned to TikTok when the COVID-19 pandemic kept people home in 2020, making it the most downloaded mobile application of the year. The company faced some cybersecurity concerns along the way but has since made investments in technology and people to improve security on the platform and the company has become certified by the International Organization for Standardization.

TikTok is currently available in over 150 markets and in 75 languages.

3 Things To Know About Working At TikTok

TikTok is committed to having a diverse workforce.

TikTok is on a mission to become the most diverse and inclusive company in tech and is trying to accomplish this by championing diversity and inclusion both in the workplace and on the platform.

The company established a Diversity & Inclusion Council in North America which serves as a strong advocate for the company's diverse community by highlighting important issues for employees and the business, including supporting employee resource groups and ensuring accountability across the organization.

In June 2020, the company engaged the black community in important conversations about racism and discrimination by inviting black creators to share their concerns and experiences with TikTok leaders. The company also held a roundtable to hear the perspectives of TikTok student ambassadors from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

"In these discussions, our community has emphasized the need for TikTok to take more proactive steps against harassment, better understand cultural sensitivities, and broaden our own team's perspectives. Internally, forums with our Black employees are facilitating ongoing conversations to make sure we're aligning our on-platform and community initiatives off the platform as well," the company says on its website.

TikTok has also made an effort to recognize different cultures throughout the year while donating to organizations that fight for equality.

TikTok is a "Great Place to Work."

TikTok's U.S. and U.K. offices were certified by the Great Place to Work Institute for 2021. Company leadership said the certification was a major accomplishment in a year where TikTok saw major growth and had to work remotely during the pandemic.

"While this past year has been anything but ordinary (and led many of us to work from home), we've continued to support our employees through initiatives like our Inclusion Summit, community townhalls, virtual concerts, wellbeing workshops, training sessions, and more. As we grow, we're also working to realize our goal to become the most diverse and inclusive company in tech -- with an incredible culture built on trust," the company said in response to certification.

TikTok has an overall score of 3.9/5 on employee review site Glassdoor and earned a score of 4.5/5 for its employee benefits.

Benefits and perks at TikTok include:

Paid time off, health insurance, 401(k) matching
Fitness subsidies
Online courses for professional development
Pet-friendly offices
Office meals
Casual dress code at the offices

TikTok wants to make a positive impact on the world.

TikTok has occasional "TikTok for Good" campaigns where they encourage content creators to make a positive impact with promoted hashtag campaigns. Successful campaigns have included:

#EduTok - The company's most popular challenge encouraged users to create educational and motivational content around a variety of themes. In addition to this in-app challenge, TikTok launched a mentorship program with leading social enterprises Josh Talks and The/Nudge Foundation which will reach 5000 young individuals across 6 Indian states with lower literacy rates.

#PetBff - The company worked with animal shelters and animal welfare organizations worldwide in a global campaign to celebrate International Homeless Animals' Day 2019. For every video posted, TikTok donated $1 to its animal protection partners (up to a maximum of $175,000 USD).

Slack Is Embracing The World Of Remote Work

Many professionals can easily recall the days of multiple out-of-control email chains and loose papers of correspondence, and then Slack came along and helped to bring organization to the workplace. As the modern workplace evolves, Slack's mission will likely take on even greater importance.

How Slack Makes The Workplace More Efficient

Slack coworkers collaborate at the company's San Francisco office.

Slack is the leading channel-based messaging platform used by millions to align their teams, unify their systems, and drive their businesses forward. Slack offers a secure, enterprise-grade environment that can scale with the largest companies in the world.

Slack came along at a time when large organizations were struggling to coordinate with teams to get them moving in the same direction, and gave these companies a place to connect their conversations, information, and software.

With remote workforces expanding and becoming more prominent, Slack has become an essential tool for many businesses. Some well-known companies that use Slack include Oracle, E-Trade, SAP, and The New York Times.

Slack by the numbers:

12M+ daily active users
119K+ paid customers
65 of the Fortune 100 use Slack
150+ countries have daily active users in Slack

How To Find The Right Job At Slack

@workitdaily
Reply to @rehatolani should I post 2/day? #workitdaily #jobportalabroad #jobtok #tipsandtricks #jobsearch #jobs #remotework #hiring #hiringnow #career

Slack is headquartered in San Francisco and has other American offices in New York, Chicago, and Denver, along with international offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Dublin, London, Paris, Munich, Melbourne, Sydney, Osaka, Tokyo, and Pune.

In addition to its offices, Slack offers remote roles and remote work flexibility. Job seekers interested in remote work positions should review all postings carefully.

Slack has job openings in analytics, business development, business technology, communications, customer experience, customer success, design, engineering, legal, marketing, product management, program management, recruiting, sales, and solutions engineering.

Slack also has a great 12-16 week summer internship program where interns are given real projects that make an impact.

3 Great Things About Working At Slack

Slack is embracing the future of work.

As a company that has developed a platform that makes working and collaborating remotely easier, it only makes sense that Slack would also embrace remote work flexibility.

While COVID-19 sent Slack's workforce remote, the company's leadership quickly realized that a remote-first work environment would likely persist long after the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the company opened up remote work positions and has given most employees the option to work remotely on a permanent basis.

The company is working hard to reimagine the workforce as things continue to evolve.

"Slack is committed to shaping the future of distributed work. Whether that means working out of one of our offices, having the flexibility to work from home a few days a week, or working remotely on a permanent basis, we're providing more choices to employees on where they can do their best work," the company states.

Slack is for everyone.

Slack has a diversity, engagement, and belonging (DEB) program that encourages a diverse workforce on multiple levels. The company realizes that sometimes the best talent falls through the cracks because they don't always have the easiest access to certain career opportunities. To address this, Slack has a few different initiatives going.

Partnership with Year Up - Slack works with Year Up, a workforce training program that connects underserved young adults with meaningful career pathways. According to Slack's most recent diversity report, 87.5% of Slack's Year Up interns have converted to full-time roles.
Employee resource groups (ERGs) - Slack has multiple ERGs that allow employees with shared characteristics or life experiences to come together. These groups are constantly evolving and helping to push new company initiatives.
Rising Tides - A six-month sponsorship program for a talented and diverse group of high performers and emerging leaders at Slack who have historically lacked access to this type of support. Program participants receive career development training, executive coaching, and one-on-one sponsorship with a Slack executive team member, with a focus on building a supportive community of peers.
Next Chapter - This program helps formerly incarcerated individuals find skilled, long-term employment in the technology sector and shift perceptions around re-entering individuals. The first three apprentices that completed this program are now full-time engineers at Slack.

Employee happiness is important at Slack.

Slack employees are focused on doing their part to make other people's work lives easier, and Slack leadership strives to do its part in returning the favor for its own employees.

While at work, Slack wants its employees to be creative, collaborative, and supportive of each other while having fun. Outside of work, Slack encourages its employees to unplug and leave work behind. So far the company seems to be doing something right as it earned a culture score of 4.2/5 on Comparably and was named one of the "Best Places to Work" by Glassdoor in 2020 and 2021. Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield earned a high score of 92/100 on Comparably.

Some of the employee benefits and perks at Slack include:

Personal development stipend - Slack employees receive an annual allowance for professional development, plus a monthly stipend to be used toward anything
Health and wellness - Free medical, dental, and vision for employees and their families; Slack pays 100% of premiums and also offers access to a range of free mental health and well-being resources
Parental perks - Slack offers generous parental and new-child-bonding leave, along with access to child-care assistance services for kids up to age five

RingCentral has a global and diverse workforce.

One of the benefits of having offices around the world, and remote work, is that it gives RingCentral access to talent from all kinds of backgrounds. The company believes that its workforce should reflect the diversity of its customers.

"We're creators and problem solvers. We're not all the same, and that's our biggest strength. Together, we're building an inclusive culture that embraces what makes us human," the company states on its website.

The company currently has employee resource groups (ERGs) that help professionals with similar backgrounds connect and plays a role in contributing to professional development. RingCentral's current ERGs are Rainbow Room, U.S. Veterans, Women & Allies, Black Employees at Ring Central, and HUGS.

Hopper Is Aiming To Change The Travel Industry

The days of going to a travel agent and booking a vacation are in the past as technology has made it possible to plan a vacation from your phone. Hopper's mobile app has quickly become a leader in the travel industry and the company's constant thirst for innovation is fueling its growth.

Hopper's Role In The Travel Industry

Hopper associates work on projects in the company's offices.

Hopper is a mobile-only travel-booking platform that aims to make planning trips a lot easier for customers.

"We are building the most customer-centric travel marketplace on earth. We aspire to help everyone discover the planet we live on by making it cheaper and easier to travel," says the company's mission statement.

The company uses a prediction algorithm that processes trillions of data points, allowing it to make precise and personalized travel recommendations. For example, Hopper says the app can predict future flight and hotel prices with 95% recommendation accuracy and notify customers the instant there's a deal.

Customers can also avoid fees and frustration with Hopper's Flexible Dates and Refundable Ticket Plans. In addition, customers can get instantly rebooked without extra costs if their flight is delayed or they miss a connection with Hopper's Disruption Rebooking Service.

Positions That Hopper Is Looking To Fill

Hopper also offers remote work positions. Those interested in remote work should carefully read the job openings or inquire while applying to the company.

Hopper is hiring in several departments including engineering, business development, user experience, product, data science, air, B2B, customer service, finance, ground, and growth. Some positions don't require a college degree.

3 Exciting Things About Working At Hopper

Hopper is positioning itself for the future.

Although the travel industry took a hit in 2020 due to COVID-19, Hopper weathered the storm well and is laying the groundwork for continued expansion in order to compete with other travel giants.

Hopper kicked off 2021 by announcing a partnership with Capital One to create the new and improved Capital One Travel, a brand-new, innovative customer booking experience built for Capital One cardholders.

"Capital One Travel, powered by Hopper, will launch in the second half of 2021 - at a time when travel is expected to make a return. The new portal will pair Hopper's best-in-class technology and capabilities with Capital One's customer-first, digital approach. Capital One Travel will offer a new and innovative way to book travel, including benefits designed specifically for cardholders as they get back to traveling later this year," the company stated in a release announcing the partnership.

Hopper leaders believe the investment that goes along with this partnership will help the company grow and develop new initiatives to accomplish its mission of making travel easier and cheaper for its customers.

Hopper has built a reputation for innovation.

Hopper has spent the last four years on Fast Company's annual list of the "World's Most Innovative Companies in Travel."

Fast Company credited Hopper for constantly adding "intuitive, user-friendly features" to its platform.

"Last year, Hopper built in a price drop guarantee (the company will automatically refund you the difference in any airfare change), in-app cancellation and change capabilities (saving travelers from dreaded calls with customer service lines), and the Next Generation Storefront, in which Hopper tracks prices for competitive business and first-class ticket sales," Fast Company said about Hopper's work in 2020.

Hopper expects that sort of innovation and creativity from its leaders and employees. Creative people tend to thrive at Hopper. For example, Hopper's current workforce includes a ukulele-playing developer, an engineer-turned-data-scientist, and a copywriter-turned-marketer-turned-product-manager, according to the company website.

Leaders at the company have a set of principles they follow, many of which encourage innovation, including:

Build for the future, not the present - Leaders understand that building for the future requires taking a long view and that thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Invent and simplify - Leaders accept that when blazing a new trail, it may take a while for others to understand.
Combat mediocrity - Leaders know that continuously raising the bar drives teams to deliver high-quality products, services, and processes.

Benefits and perks at Hopper.

Hopper has a culture score of 3.7/5 on job review website Comparably and earned a compensation grade of B-, the website notes that Hopper is in the top 40% of 1808 similar size companies.

Prior to COVID-19, Hopper put a big emphasis on after-work activities and it wasn't uncommon for employees to have board game nights, barbecues, lunch-and-learns, and company-wide offsite events.

Other benefits and perks at Hopper include:

Full medical, dental, and vision benefits, life insurance, long and short-term disability plans
Company stock options, commuter benefits, 401(k), and RSP retirement savings plan
Flexible work schedule and vacation plan, emergency travel assistance, IATA card

Dropbox Is Adding To Its Changing Workforce

In a fast-paced world, it can be hard to get organized. For many, Dropbox's products help them with those efforts. But have you ever wondered what it's like behind the scenes at Dropbox? Perhaps even considered working there?

How Dropbox Wants To Change The Workforce

Dropbox employees collaborate together on a project.

Dropbox is a file-hosting service and its online platform allows users to upload and transfer their files to personal cloud storage that they can access and share from anywhere with an account.

When Dropbox started in 2007, the company's mission was to give people a simpler way to keep files in sync. Through the years, the company's focus has shifted slightly and today its mission is to build the world's first smart workforce by designing products that reduce busywork and allow its users to focus on work that matters.

For Dropbox, creating a smart workforce means eliminating the need for teams to switch between platforms, apps, and content types, and creating one central digital environment that brings all of their content together for collaboration.

As one can imagine, creating a smart workforce in an environment that's constantly changing can come with its challenges, and while Dropbox's workforce is over 2,000 employees deep, the company is usually on the lookout for more talent that can help it accomplish its mission.

4 Things To Know About Dropbox

Dropbox employees work on virtual teams as part of the company's virtual first approach.

Dropbox is a virtual-first company.

Anyone who has taken a virtual tour of Dropbox's San Francisco office space knows that Dropbox puts a great emphasis on creative workspaces where co-workers can collaborate, so shifting to a remote workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic was certainly a culture shift for the company.

But despite some challenges along the way, Dropbox continued to deliver on its mission during the shift to remote work, and a majority of employees enjoyed the shift and felt more focused.

Understanding that the workforce is changing, Dropbox decided to become a virtual-first company. This means that remote work will be the primary experience for all employees, while the company works on strategies for future in-person collaboration and team gathering either through the company's existing offices or other collaborative spaces that will be called Dropbox Studios and be located where Dropbox currently has offices (San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, and Dublin to start).

The company admits that building a virtual-first company is an ongoing process that will have many steps along the way.

Dropbox is committed to veterans and others with diverse backgrounds.

Dropbox is an equal opportunity employer that welcomes employees from all kinds of backgrounds.

One particular area of growth is employees with past military experience. In late 2020, the company launched a recruitment program targeted at career opportunities for veterans. The company also identified specific roles for which veteran applicants would be especially well-qualified. The focus on recruiting veterans was spearheaded by the company's employee resource group (ERG) Vets at Dropbox.

"At Dropbox, we're always looking to hire talented people with integrity and grit — characteristics core to military veterans. It's important to Dropbox that we're intentional about building an inclusive culture, and we should all care about ensuring our veterans go on to great careers after their service," Dropbox co-founder and CEO Drew Houston said in a statement on the company's website.

While veterans are a recent example, the company has other ERGs focused on similar initiatives to diversify Dropbox's workforce. Those groups include Asians at Dropbox, BlackDropboxers, Latinx, Pridebox (LGBTQ), Women at Dropbox, ATX Diversity, and the Dropbox Empowerment Network.

Dropbox is hopeful that the shift to a virtual-first workplace will only enhance these efforts.

Dropbox's benefits and perks are focused on employee well-being.

Dropbox offers competitive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability plans, and 401(k) matching, but is also aware that some employees' needs are different than others. Since the workforce is now remote, the company is focused on offering wellness challenges and other activities to help keeps its workforce fit and connected. The company also offers a wellness reimbursement that can be used towards expenses such as gym memberships, massages, fitness equipment, and more.

The company also provides employees with options for assistance in setting up their home offices, along with generous time-off policies.

Dropbox provides a world of knowledge.

Whether you're a Dropbox employee, a potential employee, or just an avid Dropbox user, the company's blog is a great place to gain insights into the changing workplace, professional growth, company culture, and industry trends. The blog includes posts from Dropbox employees and guests.

Dropbox's blog currently has a lot of content around remote work and remote work practices, including Dropbox's Virtual First Toolkit, a guide to help its employees with the shift to remote work.

The Dropbox blog is not only a great resource for its own employees but for anyone.
