Zscaler Innovation & Technology Culture

Zscaler Employee Perspectives

At Zscaler, our "AI Forward, People First" philosophy is about what AI can unlock in our people. We believe an "AI Innovator" isn't just someone with AI in their title; it's anyone who embraces AI curiosity to transform how they work. We're building a culture to empower our teams to see AI not just as a tool, but as a professional partner.

From the article: The End of Decision Fatigue: How AI helps Autumn P. Work Smarter

Zscaler’s People Services team wrapped up their first-ever AI Hackathon, bringing together teams in India, EMEA, Asia, and the Americas to pause their daily work and answer one radical question: How can we use AI to disrupt our own work?

The result? Fifteen teams built working prototypes. From AI Parental Leave Planners to Compliance Auditors built by people with zero prior coding experience.

"I went from 'I have no idea what I'm doing' to 'Look at this masterpiece we created' in record time! It didn’t just make me proud, it made me feel genuinely unstoppable. I’m a builder now."

At Zscaler, we aren't just deploying AI tools to our teams. We’re trusting our teams to embrace AI to build the tools they need.

Zscaler Employee Reviews

One challenge my team faces is staying ahead in the ever-changing tech landscape. We’re tackling this by building a library of widgets, or carefully designed, reusable pieces of code, so we can keep our tech stack dynamic. The goal is to be able to plug these widgets into any of our products, reducing redundancy and keeping things loosely coupled.
