About The Company
Scribd, Inc. is on a mission to advance human understanding. Our four products — Scribd®, Slideshare®, Everand™, and Fable — help billions of people across the globe move beyond access and into insight, application, and expertise.


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.


We believe the best work happens when individual flexibility is balanced with meaningful community connection.

As part of that commitment, occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd, Inc. employees, regardless of location.
