Foreword
WELCOME TO THE 2012-2013 EDITION OF THE ZAPPOS FAMILY CULTURE BOOK!
The culture book is an annual tradition for the Zappos Family. Every year, I send an email to our employees asking people to write a
few paragraphs about what the Zappos culture means to them. Except for typos, its unedited, because one of our core values is to
Build Open and Honest Relationships With Communication.
For us, our #1 priority is company culture. Our belief is that if we get the culture right, most of the other stuff -- like delivering great
customer service, or building a long-term enduring brand and business -- will happen naturally on its own.

Thanks everyone!

Some more legalese mumbo jumbo in case you havent had enough: Please note that this book is intended to show how some individual Zappos Family employees and business partners have expressed their feelings. These personal feelings dont carry the legal effect of management policy or promises. Rather, they are intended to share the views of individual employees and partners about
what their work with the Zappos Family means to them. We appreciate them sharing these thoughts and hope that you enjoy reading the rest of this book and learning more about the Zappos Family
culture.

I have only been here for four weeks and I fall more
and more in love with this place every day. In this
economy, it was scary to leave my last good job for
the unknown and Im so happy I had the courage
to make the leap. This job has everything I have
been looking for and so much more. When you
work somewhere that supports you, you become
the best version of yourself and it carries over to
all aspects of your life. The best part of this job is
not only that Im excited to go to work each day,
but when I get home the first thing I do is ask my
daughter about her day, rather than saying, I just
need five minutes of quiet to wind down. I feel so
incredibly blessed to be here.

The Zappos Culture is mustering up the gammairradiated cells of your physiology, mutated by
the freak laboratory incident of life known as
optimistically-motivated-luck, and using your newfound abilities to fight the battles of the mundane
Doctor Normality in the form of justice-instilling,
hassle-free customer service with a strong dose
of weirdness and questionable mental instability.
Also, those Zappendales guys are amazing and the
pure embodiment of nine of the Ten Core Values.

Hello,
I just started at Zappos and Im loving every
minute. Ive been with the company for just five
weeks so everything is new. I must say everyone
is so sweet, patient, and willing to make you feel
right at home. I love the fact that Zappos wants
you to progress within the company. Most of the
companies Ive worked for didnt want you to grow
and would keep you from growing. Most other
companies Ive worked for wanted to throw you
under the bus in order to advance, whereas Zappos
is the total opposite it wants you to grow not
just professionally but personally. Im very excited
for the opportunity that was given to me and
excited to grow my career with the company.

Zappos
Where to begin? I wake up excited to go to work
every day. I have the best friends anyone could ask
for.A friend told me: You are the company you
keep.Zappos has nothing but good company.
There is never a dull day in the office and I couldnt
be more thankful for anything.In the past year
that I have worked here, I have seen myself grow.
Remember when you were a kid and your third
grade teacher had you make a time capsule? And
you had to write where you would like to be in
ten years?I am exactly where I hoped I would be:
working for an incredible company, working with
great mentors, happy as can be, and having no
regrets.Thank you to every single person in the
company because we all contribute to the culture
that is Zappos.

Embrace the chaos
To work hard is to play hard
No suits on my block
Self-expression reigns
Progress follows your passions
Smile factories
Its good for your soul
Success should not yield to rules
To rock and to roll

Ive been with Zappos for two years now and Ive
loved every day of it. Normally, at my previous jobs,
I would get this two-year itch, and always wonder
why I get bored working at my job and leave.
Now I realized that most companies do not offer
anything like our Core Value #5, Pursue Growth
and Learning. Every day when I come into work,
I am learning something new and growing as a
person. Due to Zappos, I am a better person for my
coworkers, family, friends, wife, and new mommy.
Zappos is more than just friends. Here, we are
family. I know I can turn to my team members and
they are there for a shoulder to cry on, a soundingboard to rant on, or someone to tell exciting news
to.
I love working here and never have a case of the
Mondays anymore. Thank you, Zappos, for all the
love you give!!!

In a world
Where miniature tubs drag race in the parking lot,
And fire-breathing dragons forge through offices,
Where people from all walks of life from different
departments join together to create music from
their hearts,
And friendly ping-pong battles challenge the core
of ones determination,
Lies a family of brave individuals, boasting talents
strong and unique to rise up to the challenge of
protecting their companys values,
All while remaining open to the infinite possibilities
of its ever-changing nature,
This world is unheard of.
This world is Zappos.

How time flies! I have been here for over one year.
During this time, some new coworkers came, some
left, and some are still here. All of them taught me
a lot, including knowledge, how to smile, and so
on. I appreciate them all the time. Moreover, we live
together very happily, in a home-like atmosphere.
We do many things and share ideas. Many positive
things can be found in our office, although some
disappear. But they have existed indeed. Ha-ha. We
want to make everything be funnier. We hope we
can live as a happy family, even though it is small.

Zappos is constantly changing and evolving for the
better. Every day I come in and feel privileged to
work for such an amazing company. Every day I am
challenged not only to better myself and my skills,
but also challenged to have fun. I am surrounded

I worry its a mirage I kiss
Nothing here ever brings me down
Catapult me into a state of bliss
In tall grass, all the snakes hiss
Cans of doubt open across town
I worry its a mirage I kiss
A comedy of errors, the occasional near-miss
Inside these walls I do not frown
Catapult me into a state of bliss
Excuses emboldened by a state of remiss
Rumors can never erase renown
I worry its a mirage I kiss
A chance to grow, one cannot dismiss
No more will hope suffocate or drown
Catapult me into a state of bliss
Sky remains blue, nothing amiss
Upon my head sits this radiant crown
I worry its a mirage I kiss
Catapult me into a state of bliss

For me, the Zappos Culture is the invisible, yet
powerful force that keeps this highly weird
and dysfunctional group of people together. It
manifests itself with honest smiles from people
you dont know, or sincere greetings when you
tell people that you bought your first home or
exchanged that car that was giving you a lot of
trouble. But it reaches its peak when people get
together to participate when somebody needs to
be pranked, or helped because they had a lifethreatening accident.

I believe that the Zappos Culture is our sustainable
competitive advantage! Our success is an emerging
phenomenon; simply by living our core values,
weve created an amazing company. Our culture is
what makes Zappos such a happy place, and our
culture is what makes Zappos such a successful

Ive been here for a few years now and the Zappos
Culture seems to be getting better and better
every year. There are so many activities going on
and lots of fun people to hang out with. There are
always learning opportunities and lots of open
doors for trying new things. I always seem to be
able to keep myself busy and be engaged with the
Zappos Culture. It is fueled by us employees and its
potential is limitless.

THE 3Cs
Our 3Cs = Company/Community/City
(No, not the Zappos 3 Cs of Clothing, Culture and
Customer Service who knew there would be so
many Cs of importance;)
Our belief is that the more we make companies,
communities and cities happier, the more were
creating a happier world.
COMPANY
With our DH@work team, weve been consulting
with companies to figure out ways that happiness
can be a more engaging, productive and profitable
business model.
COMMUNITY
With our DH Collection apparel line (just launching
on Zappos as I type!), were giving back 100% of
our net profits back to providing tools, classes and
events so people can learn ways to create more
happiness in their lives.
CITY
If the science of happiness can be applied to a
persons life and companies, we believe the same
things can work for a city too. So were building the
tools to measure and help other cities learn from all
thats to happen in downtown Vegas.
This has been an incredible year of evolution for
us taking DH beyond the book and bus tour has
given us this amazing foundation of what we can
do from here. No doubt, its been challenging (like
any startup environment can be) but by staying
true to our values and people that inspire us every
day, the more we know were changing the world,
one company/community/city at a time.
Heres to changing the world with happiness!
