Zendesk is a market leader in CX so the software itself is a great product. I’ve met some great people at Zen.
Used to be great. Attainable quotas, transparency, positive encouraging culture. PE has taken over and now the quotas are unattainable unless you get very lucky. The micromanaging and daily changing directives that get in the way of us doing our actual job are more profound than ever. It’s a sinking ship.
What is the range of RSU grants for staff and staff-plus software engineering roles based out of Zendesk Dublin? I was surprised to get an offer with less than $100K of RSUs, are the grants in Europe that much smaller than what people get in the US? #zendesk #dublin #rsus

What is the expected comp for CSE at Zendesk w/ breakdown between base, variable and stock?

Which companies announced layoffs today? Link to an article for verification to be added to the list TC: 430k before st...Read more
Whoever is making this call at Zendesk is one dumb moron. The m&a team is an embarrassment and always have been. As are the c-level supporting this. Leadership is going to face a lawsuit from shareholders for this Horrendous decision. The dilution of stock in insane and criminal. For a low moat prod...Read more

For context, I'm 28yo with 6 YoE, most recently working for an 8 person startup that went belly-up last month. Previous to that I was working at another post-acquisition startup...Read more
Looking for referrals for Senior Frontend Engineer or Full stack engineer (focused on frontend - 70/30 split). Have 5+ years of work ex. Looking for opportunities at: #linkedin, #atlassian, #servicenow,#zendesk , #square, #twitter etc. Current TC: 150k Expected TC: 180k base + stock + etc.
I naively believed in our company and leadership. Then we were lied to a week ago! We were told by our incompetent c-staff "we've evaluated all offers and decided to remain independent". I would advise anyone to stay away from Zendesk and anything our c-staff or board of directors touches. Here's...Read more

By popular demand, I'm reposting one of my replies on another thread. This tiering is based on both trajectory and overall scale of total comp (base+bonus+stock) for IC positions. Edit: subsidiaries with the same pay go under the parent (e.g. Twitch and Amazon) Based off of all the comp data points...Read more
Do your respective company boards tend to understand that the entire market is in upheaval or us there finger pointing and blame launched at your respective leadership teams? I'm a bit disappointed in my own PP board on that front. Not one CEO or group of leaders in individual companies can "fix" th...Read more
