      Hi, thanks for your feedback. It's great to hear you like many of the important aspects of our company. Our culture, how we reward and compensate our folks, and how you perceive our leadership is critically important to our success, and I'm glad that's working for you. Regarding new job openings, you can always see what's available at all Zillow Group offices through the Jobvite tile on Okta. If you're not sure where or what that that is, reach out to your team lead, or me directly, happy to help. In terms of growth within our department, we're rolling out more opportunities for that this week. Feel free to shoot me a note if you'd like to discuss that topic or anything else jrg@zillow.com. -JR

      Pros

      Zillow is a great place to work. The company has a set of core values, and I feel that the employees from executive level down live those values. Some highlights of Zillow: - Transparency: If there is a new project or big move happening, leadership let's us all know - Opportunity: Leadership does an excellent job of helping us make a clearly defined career path and giving us the necessary steps to get there - Trust: We are all encouraged to run with our big ideas, and if they don't work, we're not scolded. Our leaders help us assess what went wrong and how to be more successful next time. Management believes that we're all competent and working here for a reason, so they trust in our ideas.

      Cons

      - The pay (at least in my org) is barely livable. People who have college degrees are only starting at $40,000 a year, which is incredibly hard to live on in Seattle. - Growing pains: My team is growing fast, and that causes some small struggles.

      Hi, thanks for your feedback! It's great to hear leadership helps you grow, transparency is important to you and we're doing it well, and that the core values are working. Regarding pay, I’m sorry you’re not satisfied. We regularly do market analyses on our roles. These take into account many factors including a job’s scope, tasks, level of complexity, experience required, geography, industry, and company size. We’re routinely recognized nationally and locally for being a great place to work, and believe our compensation and benefits packages are highly competitive. I'm happy to discuss in person any time. Feel free to reach out to me directly jrg@zillow.com. -JR

      Pros

      Smart people Great collaboration Competitive pay and benefits Great product Work-life balance is important

      Cons

      Ancient architecture Sometimes there's the feature factory feel stemming from a somewhat opaque view of what goes into product development

      Thank you for your comments. We are proud of the company and products we have built and I'm glad you are part of the team. After ten years of development, we do still have some remaining projects to complete as we continue the efforts to build the architecture for the future. As you probably know, many teams are building new services more independently and with more flexibility on technology. Our front end is being rebuilt around React.js and more migration to AWS is happening. Having teams work collaboratively on Velocity projects has also been a win as we can make more progress and get buy-in from product teams. Of course, there is always more to do, so I welcome the input if you have ideas you'd like to share. In terms of product planning, our quarterly planning cycle with teams, with everyone from the team included, is a great way to hear and debate the "why" behind the projects that get the green light. If you are not attending those, please ask your manager to be reminded when the next one is scheduled. There should never be any doubt as to why the projects you or your team are working on are important to the company's success as we look to build the best products for our customers. I'm always available if you have any questions. Again, thank you for your comments and your hard work. - David Beitel, CTO Zillow Group
