Pros
Zillow – Lincoln (Mortech, a Zillow business), is hands down the best company I have worked for, and I’ve worked at what I thought were some pretty great companies, until I came here! The Mortech (Zillow-Lincoln) office provides a fun workspace and environment that encourages collaboration among co-workers and promotes transparency and openness with management and executives.
The Lincoln office is equipped with a long list of employee perks and activities to provide an outlet during the workday, including ping pong and shuffle board tables, a video game room, outdoor basketball court, candy wall, kitchens with fully stocked beverages, snacks, and Starbucks coffee machines, weekly catered lunches, treadmill desks, standing desks, FitBits for all employees, employee happy hours, events, outings, annual employee Holiday party in Seattle, and more.
Although you’ll always find fun “work perks” at other Lincoln area tech and start-up companies, Zillow is able to also provide great benefits to employees that come along with working for a large well-established company. Competitive salary, 401k matching, stock options, annual merit salary increases, and very generous paid vacation, sick, and family leave time to name a few.
Although Zillow is headquartered in Seattle with additional offices in NYC, San Francisco, Orange County, and Lincoln; C-Level executives make it a priority to visit remote offices often for open face-to-face conversations about what’s going on in the company, and overall company direction. The executive team is incredibly transparent so all employees know company goals, and how they individually play a part in achieving those goals.
Cons
It’s a fast growing company that sets the bar high for employee expectations. Employees are pushed to strive for excellence, which may not be for everyone. However, you can tell the company truly does care for their employees, and strives to provide a work culture that maintains happy and engaged employees.
