Good benefits such as insurance and PTO

Huge mess, higher ups have no idea what they are doing. No one is on the same page. Quotas are unattainable and change every month.

Pros

Zillow is generally a good place to work, lots of freedom and great benefits.

Cons

I would encourage senior leadership teams to look at pay levels across all teams to ensure people are equally paid, especially to public jobs boards. Oftentimes new employees are brought in at higher base and OTE ranges.

Pros

Dynamic company with a ubiquitous market share. There are some really talented, smart people with a lot of energy. Provides severance packages - decent of you

Cons

Salary ranges are below market Does not subsidize benefits, and they're EXPENSIVE Raises are infinitessimal. You're simply tossed more stock options with the hope you stay invested to earn them "one of these days", but.... Then lays off hundreds of passionate employees at the drop of a hat with lame cover stories that no one believes so that they don't have to call them layoffs. And just to be petty, the food at company events is dreadful, sometimes inedible.
