Pros

I'm really enjoying my time at Zendesk! The ability to work remotely and asynchronously with my distributed teams provides a fantastic level of flexibility and work-life balance. I was particularly impressed with the onboarding process – it was well-structured, informative, and made me feel very welcome. The hiring process itself was also efficient and transparent, which built my confidence in the company's values. There's a real sense of ownership and the freedom to innovate, making a meaningful impact on the company's success. Highly recommend!

Cons

Rapid pace of change within the SaaS industry.

Pros

The people you work directly with are nice and the unlimited PTO was nice, and everyone was very chill about you taking time off when you needed.

Cons

It used to be a pretty good place to work but then after Zendesk got acquired everything slowly got worse and worse culture-wise. There were also multiple layoffs and re-orgs that caused a lot of confusion and cognitive debt, all the while management was still expecting more productivity somehow???? With layoffs practically every year and veiled threats about having to use AI more (more how?! There was no direction), working there kind of felt like working with a gun to my head.
