employee since | 2008 I’ve had so many doors open up for me working here. I love creating art, and I love that I can share my vision!

Jessica P

employee since | 2009 Zappos culture is our family environment. This year we made a huge move downtown and it was because of our strong culture that it was virtually seamless. Everyone came together to help out and really embraced all of the changes. Our new campus is absolutely amazing and everyone immediately felt at home. The culture continues to live on and you can see it through the fun and weird stuff that has already happened on our new campus. We have a space ship conference room parked out front, each floor is decorating the bubbles, the amazing holiday chalk drawings on the 10th floor, and the wonderful giant Christmas tree out front. It seems that every year working here just gets better and better!

Isabella P

in the surrounding community. I know our culture will grow exponentially and I am excited for the future holds. I feel very lucky to be able to work with amazing people who I not only consider my friends, but more importantly my family as well =]

To me, culture means encouraging others, recognizing when you can do more to help your colleagues without them having to ask, striving toward an even greater purpose bigger than your organization and being cognizant of the impact of your words and actions.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? As I sit at my desk and look around Floor 7, I see my friends smiling, my team making PEC cards, and festive decorations on every desk. I see murals on the chalk wall, and my solar turkey dancing. This is my home. The culture at Zappos isn’t a word, event, or a thing, it’s a feeling. I equate it to holding a warm cup of coffee. At the beginning, you feel the warmth on your palms and the steam rising to your cheeks. You smile. The first few sips fill your body with a tingly warm sensation. As you continue to drink, you become comfortable, and at ease. The rain doesn’t bother you, because you have your coffee. The problems in your life fade away, because you have your coffee.

And when you finally get to that last sip, you savor it, and even let out a small sigh. It’s over, but it was delicious! The culture here is the same feeling. Sometimes you feel as though you may burst with excitement because so many AMAZING things are happening. Every day there’s a new smile to see, and a new laugh to hear. A new customer to WOW, and a new thing to learn. You feel safe here. Warm. Comfortable. And when the day is over, you look forward to adventures of the next. Speaking of coffee, I love me a white peppermint mocha, extra peppermint, with whip, soy milk. It’s amazing ... It KINDA is. Thank you Zappos for being, and MAKING my white peppermint mocha. :)

Zappos culture means a focus on the individual, whether it’s a customer or an employee. Every one of our core values reminds us not to lose sight of the people that our decisions will affect.

Very few places to work actually walk the walk and make a consistent effort to make the work place creative, fun, and inspiring. There’s confetti on the floor and a llama on my cup. I get to work with all my friends, and there’s never a dress code (except on Tutu Tuesdays and Fancy Fridays). I’ve made friends that will last a lifetime and over the past few years I have grown
