About The Company

At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our three products: Everand, Scribd, and Slideshare. We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer. When it comes to workplace structure, we balance individual flexibility and community connections. Scribd Flex allows employees—in partnership with their manager—to choose the daily work-style that best suits their needs. A key tenet of Scribd Flex is prioritizing intentional in-person moments to build collaboration, culture, and connection. For this reason, occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd employees, regardless of location. We hire for “GRIT”: the intersection of passion and perseverance toward long-term goals. The acronym outlines the standards we hold ourselves to:
