Pros

Non to share besides standard health benefits.

Cons

Toxic leadership, especially post-PE acquisition. AE Management is horrendous across the board, specifically within the SMB space. Sinking ship where product development and customer service are almost non-existent within the Org, which is hilariously ironic/NOT ICONIC for a "CX forward" company as they'd like to present themselves. I feel terrible for those companies that currently work with or intend to implement Zendesk. For those in consideration as an Employee or potential prospects. My advice is RUN.

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.
