Zendesk Work Experiences
- 3.0So, soSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 5, 2014Pros: Good culture, work-life balance. I have met some really brilliant people. Interaction level between different groups is high. Motivated people who care about the product and company. Good PTO policy. Awesome CEO.Cons: There's a lot of politics in some engineering groups, especially ours. One person holds the power. This limits team interaction and pollutes the whole group. I wouldn't recommend this group to people who want to do brilliant work.
