Pros

Zendesk has extremely solid work/life balance, and the managers I've worked with are flexible with working hours. The work I do is solid, and there aren't unrealistic expectations for productivity.

Cons

Overall, the future is cloudy. Upper management hasn't been able to make its vision clear at all, and the compensation/promotion process is opaque. Projects get re-scoped halfway through and sent off in a different direction.

Advice to Management

Stop with the lawyer speak. Stop trying to sell something that sucks as a benefit. Tell it straight and be decisive.
