      Great Team Environment

      Product manager

      Pros

      Everyone in the office is working on a very broad range of products and projects, but it feels like everyone is rowing the same boat. Everyone is working hard trying to build a great experience for both Renters and Property Managers....and trying to get more of both using our sites and services. Great office culture. Lots of nice perks like Clipper Benefits, lots of free snacks and beverages (big variety), and weekly happy hours.

      Cons

      Being in a smaller remote office, there can be a bit less room for career advancement. However, this is improving with management's encouragement of cross office/team promotions and an expanding local office with growing teams. In addition, because of the office culture, every one is empowered to make improvements to the company, our websites, and our services. This gives everyone a sense of ownership, which makes working here more enjoyable.

      Thank you for the review. I"m glad you are enjoying your time at Zillow. The SF office is a great office, and I love the fact that it's focused squarely on rentals. It allows everyone there to have a common goal and focus. You are right that being in a non-headquarters office can sometimes be difficult. The whole company is becoming so much more distributed now though that it's hard to even know where headquarters is anymore. So I think this is becoming less of an issue. Of the 100 most senior people at Zillow, about half of them are now based outside of Seattle, believe it or not. Anyway, thank you for working hard on rentals -- it's so important to our future success here.

      Pros

      I have been with Zillow for a couple months and could not be happier I made the decision to leave my management job for a sales position. I was reading these reviews not to long ago and was nervous to take the Inside Sales Position. IT IS A HARD JOB but if you can work hard for 8 hours and you have some sales capability Zillow will make you a lot of money! They make coming to work fun and exciting through contests and an unlimited kitchen! I am grateful for Zillow and would only recommend this job to top salesmen/women. If you think you are the best this is the place for you!

      Cons

      Well the only con I can think of at this point is only a "con" if you don't like to work hard! You will be pushed hard and held to the expectations they set on the first phone interview.

      I'm glad you decided to come to Zillow! Yes, sales can be hard at Zillow (and anywhere) but as you say, if you work hard, you can do great. Thank you for your contributions to Zillow.

      Wonderful, progressive workplace

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Great environment and culture * Company fosters individual growth * Lots of perks and morale events * Z-speaker series! We've had Arianna Huffington and Vicente Fox come give talks, for example * Transparency * Free snacks, free lunches at the end of the month and on days where there are events * Great work/life balance * Fair, competitive compensation for engineers * Engineering teams are committed to moving forward and fixing issues with both code and process, rather than band-aiding things

      Cons

      * Growing rapidly, which is great, but things do change a lot and sometimes it takes a while to catch up to them * Snacks rotate too frequently. Don't get too attached to anything, because it might be gone the next month. * Lots of domain knowledge required to move through the code base very effectively. This can be a little bit intimidating for new hires, and can extend ramp-up to several months if your work touches multiple areas on the site. Don't feel intimidate to ask someone, though, because we've all been through it, fully understand, and are working to improve it.
