Pros

I've been lucky to work at Zendesk for a long time, in different areas, with many excellent colleagues. Overall, I feel very lucky to have the opportunities I have and to work with an outstanding, diverse, and globally-distributed team. The AI wars we're entering into are a crazy time. But I think Zendesk is one of the best places you can be for them. There are challenges, but we're working on them together.

Cons

Being globally distributed, it can be a little hard to box off your workday to certain hours. The company has also gone through pains as the tech market and AI wars have evolved -- layoffs were hard, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.

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.
