Pros

Witnessing tremendous growth, but still maintaining rock solid culture. Really like how management cares about employees and listens. I mean it, employee surveys are taken seriously and actions are taken based on that. Innovation is at the core of the company. Always thinking big and moving fast to achieve those goals. It is hard to see from outside, but that is the reason Zillow dominates the markets and competition keeps on playing catch up game. Pretty much still bottom up approach with small teams diving up awesome products. There is level of autonomy given to engineers. Work life balance is great. I really like how we do all release activities during day time with almost no downtime to on live site. We have really efficient operations team that make this happen (they can be little stubborn at times, but they need to keep Zillow running -- understandable). That means no on call for developers.

Cons

Mostly due to flat organization structure hard to see clear career progression.

We are always looking for ways to improve, so please continue to share your ideas and constructive feedback. Your manager and I welcome it. I'm always available if you want to talk. Sometimes career growth isn't always apparent, but even in our small team structure, we have been able to provide growth and leadership opportunities for both individual contributors and managers. I encourage you to talk with your manager about this. We are usually looking for engineers to lead projects, mentor others including new hires and lead teams as we grow and create new product teams within the org. Thanks again for your comments and all your hard work.

Pros

By far the best company I have ever worked at. It's definitely not easy but if you thrive off of a fast pace, work hard sales environment then your pay check will definitely show for it. Management genuinely cares and makes a conscious effort everyday to make it a fun place to work. Happy hours, prizes (tvs, Apple iPods, gift cards, trips, money), amazing benefits, monthly gym reimbursement, massages that come to the office, fun team outings, catered food the list goes on. The sky is the limit of how much money you can make, however it's all about the effort that you put in. If your someone who likes to push yourself, doesn't give up, likes a challenge, is competitive and wants to make money then this is perfect. If you want to coast and hope you make your numbers, it's not gonna happen. Year after year there is constant change and new opportunities. After working at several different sales companies, I'm so thankful to finally have found a company that I not only enjoy coming into every day but values my worth. Keep growing!

Cons

I really can't think of anything.

Pros

Very upbeat environment. I've had other jobs and what I love the most about this job is how they show their appreciation for you. Two lounges filled with free food and drinks, pool table, ping pong, basketball, constant food being catered in. The Zillow 15 is real! Decent lunch break and you don't have to ask if you need to take a break. All upper management has been super helpful and readily available to help whenever you need it. They also have a casual dress code which is amazing. I love being able to dress comfortably to work. $75 monthly gym reimbursement, elevating desks, great benefits, etc. The company is always changing and moving forward. I was a career changer and this job has been super refreshing for me!

Cons

I would say the biggest con is the scheduling. Unfortunately with this particular department it's just how it is right now. Real Estate does a lot of their business during the weekends and evenings so there's a high chance you will be working those shifts. The department is growing so you never know what kind of flexibility or different opportunities that could bring in the future.

Thanks for the nice and thoughtful review! I'm glad you're really enjoying the job, including the benefits, environment, and team leads. What you're doing is incredibly important for our customers, agents, and the business overall. Yes, scheduling can be challenging in this role - thank you for the direct feedback. As our systems get better, our scheduling flexibility may get better as well (though might take some time.) I'll pass the feedback along, though to make sure we have this on our radar. Thanks again and feel free to send any additional feedback you'd like to share to me at tonys@zillow.com.
