Pros

Most of the people are great, and you cant go wrong with the food/coffee.

Cons

I can only speak on Data Services, and if you were thinking about applying to DS, just don't. Management will ensure that you know you are at the bottom, and will go out of their way to make you remember it every day. The will gossip, openly judge you about non-work related aspects, and prevent you from ever trying to progress professionally. Zillow likes to shout that they are a great place to work, but there have been multiple occurrences where employees have tried to speak up and the result was always the same: nothing. Then based off previous comments to reviews they will reply with "we have not heard this level of feedback prior". Unless someone along the chain is purposely preventing them from hearing this feedback, then this just goes to show how hard they work to keep up this facade of a great place to work.

Pros

9 years ago, I started with a handful of sales generalists at Trulia. We quickly grew from a 5 to 200+ person sales organization, underwent an IPO, and successfully united with the Zillow Group family through an acquisition in 2015. I can genuinely say that each year has felt like an entirely new startup company while still preserving the momentum and progress we’re creating. Personally, it has made my 9 years fly by incredibly fast. But it’s not just fast and fun times with the BEST benefits and people... My time here has proven to me that the leadership at ZG is thoughtful about our future. I absolutely trust that the company can navigate our disruptive industry and is willing to innovate to the degree that most companies seemingly only talk about. While I feel like we’re only now at the top of the roller coaster ride, it’s completely reassuring to know the company I’m committed to is equally committed to me both personally and professionally. I’m proud to be part of Zillow Group and am excited for our future.

Cons

Every industry is facing change. Zillow is not afraid to embrace change for the long term mission. This requires adaptability and willingness to be uncomfortable which is not for everyone.

Thank you for this great review. yes, the company sure has changed in 9 years! But some things have not -- our focus remains on delighting consumers, making sure that our company is a great place to work in all of our offices, and acting consistently with our core values. Thanks for being here.

Pros

Fantastic pay, fantastic benefits, fantastic opportunity for professional growth. I've been here 5 years and it's the happiest I've been at a job in my life. I have had the opportunity to grow in several roles and participate in many pilots (pilots are an excellent opportunity to live the core value #MoveFastThinkBig and really push yourself to do something new and amazing!). I've been mentored by some brilliant people, I've always felt like management is truly invested in my growth and in keeping the very best talent long term. In looking at what I "should" be making as an average for my job title, my actual pay at Zillow always comes out on top even without taking into account the extremely generous benefits. I've referred numerous people to work here, it's the best place to work!

Cons

I sound biased, but there really aren't any. It's not very fancy, so if your ego requires an office, the semi-casual open floor plan with no offices probably won't be your thing. But I love it.
