An Insider's view of Kustomer

What are some social events your company does?

We've started a tradition we refer to as Kamp Kustomer - a yearly in-person retreat where we come together in fun locations like the Poconos to reconnect, build trust within our teams, and collaborate. It's a great chance to unwind from the daily routine and we always return with renewed energy and focus.

As a customer service-focused platform, Kustomer offers endless possibilities, and it’s rewarding to see the memorable customer service experiences our clients are able to create.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

Something that I’ve learned during my time at Kustomer is the power of embracing your team’s knowledge. As professionals in the workforce, we’re often pushed into thinking that we need to know everything and work in a silo. Everyone at Kustomer embraces collaboration and supporting each other through their projects. It’s very special in that way.

Lauren

What unique initiatives do you have that encourage innovation?

Kustomer's new path forward brings generative AI advancements to the platform. Generative AI's new approach to building personalized context in our features leverages inputs and outputs within our data. A core tenet of ours is building these features in a responsible and ethical way by respecting privacy and security principles above all else.

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

The People/Talent teams are working hard to add 50+ people to Kustomer in 2023! The challenge of finding great teammates who can help us be a better company than ever before is no small feat. We work hard to ensure that everyone we hire brings something unique to our Krew and is excited to work with others in order to make our vision come to life.
