Seriously, get over yourself and grow up. You will always have to make compromises in the workplace, either on this or some other aspect of the environment because you are not the center of the universe. Ultimately the choice of video conferencing software used by your employer is so utterly trivial a matter when compared to basically every other aspect of your work life that rejecting a job based on this is idiotic. Especially given we're talking about teams which you will probably STILL have to interact with whenever you communicate with other organisations since it's one of the market leaders.

One of the few sensible replies on here. The level of entitlement on this thread is mind boggling.

  We're mostly dev or ops here, probably at least average ones. Entitlement is the default state for us. But anybody should be entitled to refuse a job interview for any reason he wants.

Foregoing all interaction is different than running it as the primary and sole communication platform.

One of the biggest 'internal surveys' in bigger tech companies are about workflows and hampers. This really boils down to concerns on deployment efforts, but when you can't get the basic comm channels reasonable, absolutely there is a big issue. You need to set your standards higher and realize the impacts of basic amenities being junk.
