Recruitment, interview and offer process for Zillow

Pros

My overall recruitment process with Zillow was very pleasant as well as shockingly quick. The total time from phone screen to offer spanned just under 4 weeks, and the winter holidays took place during that time, so it probably would have been even quicker. My recruiter was responsive, knowledgeable and very kind. I felt like my recruiter was really motivated for me to have a good experience. When an offer was made, the details were clear and the aspects that had wiggle room to negotiate were also made clear. On top of a very competitive offer, the CEO sent me a personal note and we exchanged some emails about the company - a really nice touch.

Cons

The only negative in the process, and this is small, is the number of handlers I interfaced with during the process. From beginning to end, there were 3 individuals who helped me through the process and it wasn't always clear who my main point of contact was. Again, this is small stuff, but it would have been nice to know upfront the different roles to set my expectations.

Thank you so much for your feedback on the recruiting process! I am glad it was a positive experience and that you are enjoying your time at Zillow so far. I think your specific feedback on number of "handlers" in the process is actually quite interesting and is a small area of refinement we could work on to make sure candidates know who is their point person. Good stuff! Thank you. Annie Rihn

Pros

Exec team is super accessible. Love the free food. Really data driven. The company is willing to do what it takes to really win. Super smart people leading the org.

Cons

Hard to connect with peers on other teams. I think I could learn a lot more if I got to hang out with folks doing what I'm doing on other teams.

Thanks for the review and I'm so glad things seem to be going well. To your point on connecting with other teams - I'm glad to hear you're interested. We have a ton of talented people in our building who work on similar problems, technologies, etc so it's key to get that sharing going. We have done some things here already (e.g., shared Innovation/Hack Week schedule) but we'll work to do more. -Dan, VP and GM Rentals

Pros

Where to begin... I told myself I would wait a year before I wrote this review, I wanted to make sure I wasn't just in a "honeymoon" phase. Well it turned out that it is not just a "honeymoon" phase at Zillow, it keeps getting better. My favorite perks/benefits are our desks that convert from sitting to standing at the push of a button, all the free snacks drinks and catered lunches, the gym reimbursement, 401k match, summer outing(we chartered a yacht for the day), holiday weekend(company flys all the employees out to Seattle for an awesome weekend), great health care....I could keep going but I think you get the point, it's awesome. My coworkers are all very self-driven so there is no need for micromanaging. The members of the executive team are all kind, down to earth and very intelligent. I have friends in the tech industry at other companies and when we compare cultures theirs just doesn't match up. Hoping for many more incredible years with Zillow

Cons

The only cons out there are the misconceptions that agents or others in the real estate industry have of Zillow, if they truly understood what Zillow's mission was, I think they would have a better appreciation for us.
