Inclusive, Supportive, Growing, and Fun!
Inclusive, Supportive, Growing, and Fun!
I've loved working for Zendesk, and have very few "grass is greener" considerations.
Pros:
- Work/Life Balance.
- Beautiful Offices and Good Coffee.
- Generally Cool, Smart colleagues.
- Quickly Growing Company (and Stock Price).
Salary seems not to be fully competitive. A very small percentage of employees engage in seemingly petty behavior. Quickly growing, so some processes aren't optimized.
Stay true to the virtue of humblidence. Keep the culture of empathy alive. Vet hires against desired cultural qualities. Keep Mikkel in power as long as he can tolerate it. After all, he doesn't seem to abuse his power (other than being a hilarious nuisance on Slack).
