Did your company make the exclusive list?
Do you believe you’re paid fairly? Workplace analysts from Comparably.com asked 10 million workers as part of its annual list of companies with the best pay packages.
For 2020, a winner on Wall Street in the work-from-home era climbed six spots to No. 4 to join powerhouses in tech – Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon – in the top five.
Zoom, maker of the eponymous video conferencing platform, grew in popularity across the world during the massive shift to remote working in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the home front, the company won approval from its own employees: it garnered 98% positive reviews from staff members who took part in the survey. This earned Zoom an A+ rating overall.
“As a testament to this, when employees are asked ‘Do you believe you’re paid fairly?’, 91% say ‘Yes’. The IT department is the most satisfied with their compensation, ranking it 100/100, a full 18 points above the admin department,” Comparably found.
Apart from the competitive pay, Zoom said it also offers employees free medical, dental, mental health and vision benefits; stock options; health savings account (HSA) and flexible spending account (FSA) plans; wellness and fitness reimbursement; unlimited paid time-off; paid parental leave for 12 weeks; and short-term or long-term disability and life insurance, among other benefits.
