Pros

Where do I even begin for the pros of this job. The culture is beyond amazing, every one is willing to help you. All managers have an open door policy and are willing to help you with anything you need. There is so much room to improve within the company, and there a multiple jobs you could apply for if you are interested in gaining experience in another area of the company. They always stock kitchens with snack, and they always make sure to have their healthy options. The benefits are through the roof, I have never had better health insurance in my entire life. This company cares so much for it's employees and their well being. The dress code is very relaxed, I love being able to wear jeans!

Cons

Honestly, with the way this company takes care off people. There is nothing bad I could say about the company itself. Bad experiences with a manager will happen to everyone.

Best Company I've Ever Worked For!

Pros

I couldn't ask for better work/life balance, culture, benefits, location, leadership and opportunities. This company is hands-down, the best company I've ever worked for.

Cons

I can't think of any real cons. The only negative thing is the commute for South Bay employees, but the Transbay Terminal (cal train) and San Jose bart station are going to be up in the next year or two.

Pros

Zillow is a great place to work. Great culture, great CEO, and lots of free snacks and perks. Employees are friendly to each other. Plus, there are Hackweeks to try whatever we like.

Cons

Lack of organizational level standard (maybe a not a totally bad thing) : Each team tends to do thing with a bit of their own culture. Some teams are more strict while some teams are more chill. Some teams are more old school while teams some are more innovative. Pay level is okay but not as competitive.

Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you like it here. I would agree there are differences between the teams just like the work they are doing is. However, you bring up a good point and I’ll look into that more. As far as pay we always try to remain competitive and because of that we reassess compensation companywide every year. – Justin LaJoie, VP
