Pros

It is a Zillow company, which has its benefits. A trip to Seattle once a year, free lunches, snacks and good healthcare.

Cons

Everything Mortech is a joke. The leadership is bad, the product is bad, room for growth is bad, pay is bad. Management is near-sighted and there are far too many managers just collecting paychecks. The product is outdated and even though Mortech was given a huge head start it is now the laughing stock of the industry. Promotions are only given to polo wearing males that are in the "club" and the pay is horrible if you are on the outside looking in. The zuperstar awards that are given out are deserved once in every four winners. If this company was not owned by Zillow, no one would ever want to work there. It's not worth the free lunch once a week.

Thank you for your review. I’m very sorry this was your experience here. This is not representative of what we hear in our frequent employee surveys, nor the culture we want at Zillow Group. I’m not sure when you left but we’re always investing more in our manager development programs and evolving our product roadmap and leadership team. If there is any other detail you want to share about your experience, please feel free to email me directly (erin@zillowgroup.com.) The experience you describe is not one that we want anyone to have at Zillow Group, and I’d like for us to be able to look into your concerns more closely. - Erin Lantz, VP & GM, Mortgages

Pros

The benefits provided by Zillow are unmatched, and employees get luxuries large and small, from generous 401k matching to free lunch every week. The work/life balance is also incredible; I've never seen a company that goes out of its way to ensure its employees are happy and healthy. The Lincoln office, in particular, works quite well together across departments. This hasn't always been the case, but emphasizing changes in management and structure have gone a long way here. Communication and collaboration have been on the rise, and are still steadily improving. There are a lot of people here that really care about the work they do and the overall success of the company. People want to do good work to find both personal success, and success for the business.

Cons

Employees can often be tasked not just with doing a lot, but doing a lot quickly and well. While management is typically good about allocating and reallocating work, there are times when an employee or groups of employees can feel swamped, so much so that their performance and quality of work suffers. Specifically to the Lincoln office, it feels like there's not as much room for career growth as there is across Zillow. It often feels as though to move up through Zillow, one must leave the Lincoln office to do so.

Thanks for taking the time to write a such a thoughtful evaluation of your experience in Lincoln. I'm happy our organizational changes and efforts to improve on cross team communication are having a positive impact! I appreciate your honesty about the workload and understand some of the challenges that come along with being part of a smaller and more specialized team. I agree that we have great people in Lincoln and I will continue to be an advocate for making ZG Lincoln a destination for more of our employees! Keep the feedback coming so we can keep getting better. - Erin Lantz, VP & GM, Mortgages
