I’ve recently spent time reflecting on what the last year has been like — the challenges, the opportunities, and the experiences of our employees and customers.
It’s been more than a year since I have been in the same room as my fellow Zoomies. On March 3, 2020, we sent our employees to work from home for what we thought would be a few weeks. No one could have imagined what the next year would bring. At that time, we had 2,500 Zoomies, and today we have more than 4,400 global employees.
So many of our employees have never met each other in person or stepped foot in a Zoom office. We’ve been lucky that our platform has allowed us to stay connected and collaborate throughout the year, and that our Zoom culture has remained core to who we are as we’ve grown.
Across the globe, we have all been trying to navigate our new reality. Some of the biggest changes have been to our day-to-day lives — how we connect, communicate, learn, and do business — all under the tremendous weight that is living during a pandemic.
