Culture

Be yourself. We’d prefer it, actually.

A great job gets you in the door, but great culture is why you stay. At Zendesk, we know culture isn’t what’s written on the careers page, but rather who you work with. That’s why we encourage every employee to lead with empathy, be a team player, and look for opportunities to care.

Employee volunteering and team building.
New employee orientation seminar.
Employees engaged in a workshop seminar.
Employees sharing that their company is recognized as a great place to work.
Employees taking a break.

In person where it helps, flexible where it doesn't, shaped by what your role and what the team actually needs.

Employee volunteering and team building.
