    Hired Top Employer in 2023

    When you shine, we shine.

    We know one desk doesn’t fit all. At Zendesk, we believe great work happens anywhere. Digital first is more than where we work though. We give our employees flexibility and choice in both where and how they work while also trusting them to be a team player. But digital first doesn’t mean digital only. We are purposeful about gathering in person to connect, collaborate, learn, and celebrate.

    At Zendesk, we empower our people to be their best selves–together or apart. We value our differences and learn how to stand with each other’s communities. This is a place to grow and feel supported along the way. And while we like to keep reasonable work hours so we can also pursue our passions outside the office, we approach work with heart, creativity, and a sense of humor.

    Zendesk was built upon a simple idea: Make customer service software that’s easy to use and accessible to everyone. We’ve expanded on that idea and now offer a growing family of products that work together to improve customer relationships and can be embedded and extended through an open development platform.

    If you’re a team player looking for a flexible and supportive company that is eager for big ideas, Zendesk is the place for you.

    We want to be helpful.

    Zendesk is on a mission to simplify the complexity of business and make it easy for companies and customers to create connections. With a vision to have a global economy powered by lifelong customers, we can only do this with the right people and strong values.

    Here’s the process to join our team.

    We’re eager to get to know you, learn about projects you’ve worked on, and experiences you can bring to Zendesk. If you are selected for an interview, you will meet with someone from talent acquisition, the business group you are applying to, and nice people across the Zendesk team.

    As you go through our process, we will be sharing our Zendesk values (lead with exceptional customer service, deliver the simplest solution, show pride in our work, and care for each other) and assessing your capabilities and skills.

    Here are some tips to help you along the way:

    - Get to know Zendesk so you can ask more specific questions. You’ll receive a candidate interview guide, and your recruiter will gladly guide you to content to help you learn more about what it’s like to work here.
    - Don’t forget to read the job posting before your interview. You might want to make a list of questions you have about the job.
    - We use behavioral interview questions. You can practice answering in a STAR format: situation, task, action, result.
    - You should always feel welcome to ask questions.

    Please note that specific roles may require one of the following: demo, case study, presentation, and/or assignment.
