Pros

A lot of companies talk about a work-life balance, Zendesk achieves it. People show up at reasonable times and leave at reasonable times. The CEO makes it a point not to offer dinner as people should go home and unwind. Benefits package is strong but still misses common pieces. Annual soccer tournament that gives people a fun day to unwind as an organization.

Cons

No matching 401k is the only thing left on my list of making this a perfect a workplace. But don't let that stop you, as your mental health is worth more than just $$$.

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.
