I just interviewed via zoom for JPMorgan Chase for trade support (thinking no more interviews were needed). The next day the recruiter calls me, saying that the team is very interest and went over logistics. She said she was going to talk back to the team and let me know next steps. The next day I get an e-mail requesting an interview again for the role but from the recruiting coordinator. Does JP give offers via zoom? Any similar stories?

Need help from Amazon 🐠 Anyone interviewed for Amazon L5 BIE in GSF supply chain team? The JD said basic qualifications include data modeling, ETL, data warehousing and optimization. Any idea or experience how they will test these topics? Asking about related experience? Or show some data and ask how you will deal with that? Or like a case study, given a senario and ask how you think in order to tackle problem? Need advice/idea/experience urgently. Thanks in advance.Amazon @BIE

On if I look decent, off if I have “bandwidth issues”

On pretty much all the time, have gotten to the point where I don’t care how I look anymore lol
Rising Star
On all the time but I’m in sales. It blows
Off for everything other than focals and tough conversations. We did just fine with conference calls in the days before zoom; I don’t gain much by having the ability to see my coworkers desperately trying to maintain an on camera presence all day.
My monotone voice necessitates that I have my video on for any meetings that require me to be perceived as a human instead of a faceless vendor. Probably 50/50 these days.
With my team, I make sure they know that either option is fine with me for our internal meetings/1:1s. When they work with customers, I ask that they mirror whatever the other party is doing. You never know which ones will care and which won't.
Big meetings with lots of people? Off. I don't think the bandwidth issues are as bad as they once were, but habit now prevails.
One-on-one meetings? On, unless there is a compelling reason to leave it off.
Smaller meetings? It...depends. But I'm not at all sure that my decisions on that are rational.
I default to off. Previous to pandemic, calls were calls. Video is distracting and people spend less time in their brains and more time thinking about how they look on camera. If it is an important client call, I will do video. If it is an introductory call, I will do video as then they can put a face to a name. But, the rest, no video.
I encourage folks to have their cameras on. As someone who has worked remotely in the past as well as helping a lot of folks unused to remote work due to COVID I can assure you there is a huge difference in people's attitudes when _everyone_ has their cameras on. It humanizes an impersonal experience and makes folks feel much more like a team especially during tough times.
On 95% of the time.
I leave mine on as I’m an extravert and I like to communicate with my expressions... plus my instruments behind me can be ice breakers 😁
For me, it really depends on who I’m meeting with. If it’s a one on one, I keep it on. If it’s for standup, I usually keep it off cause it’s just quick status updates. If it’s a meeting that involves people from other departments that I don’t work closely with or don’t know well, I usually keep it on. And if it’s with people I’ve worked closely with and know well, I will often turn it off because I find myself actually being distracted because I just don’t like being on camera in general and I know the people in the meeting are not offended or misinterpreting anything by me not having my camera on. Now, if I’m the only one without my camera on, I will usually turn it on. If I’m presenting, camera is on. So basically it just boils down to the context of the meeting and the people in the meeting. It’s really a judgement call you kind of have to make for yourself.
We don't "Zoom" we use a better platform. ;) But I mostly have it on thanks to Snap Camera application. I use it for virtual makeup or just to be silly sometimes with a rainbow in the background. It takes virtual backgrounds to the next level and I don't have to start at my eye bags all day. You can install it on a PC or Mac and select the alternate camera from the drop down. Works better on PC.
It depends on what everyone else on the call is doing. I refuse to be stared at during a meeting if everyone else has their video off. We always turn video on when certain Directors or our CIO are on the call (they always have their video on and expect us to have ours on too). Most others don’t care.
On almost always, especially on meetings with our EMEA and APAC teams cause the business etiquette I've noticed for ppl outside the US is to be "face-to-face" 😁
On 95% of the time. May do a couple meetings without it on Fridays if I work from anywhere besides my desk.
Almost always on... (off sometimes when eating or if a very large meeting and there isn’t active participation ) it just feels more personal and I want to connect with my teammates.
On for 100% of speaking meetings... Off for 50% of non speaking meetings ..
On. It makes the meeting more personal.
Always on
I tend to turn it on. I have noticed that more team members are turning their camera on as a result. However, most meetings are voice only.
My sales manager requires it be on for all calls.
Always on except for huge meetings where I am just observing.
Some of the vendors and consultants I meet with leave their cameras off and I find that disrespectful. They can see us but won't show their face.
On for small meetings. Off for everything else
