      Best tech company in Seattle, hands down

      Pros

      There is fantastic leadership from the founders and the C-level executives. I have faith they are making the right decisions. It is great that our company is still controlled by the founders even though we are public. We never ever do anything just to make the quarter. We are doing really cool stuff to transform a fascinating industry, and there is a ton of runway ahead of us. We have lots of resources to support great ideas. Our culture is extremely strong and well defined. People really get our values, and we try hard to live them. The people here are very smart, very capable, very hardworking, and very nice. We have access to the data we need to make decisions properly. We have JUST enough process to support our growth, and no more. Benefits are finally getting to be competitive. Good IT hardware and software. Standing desks and Aeron chairs. Lovely downtown office and frequent free food.

      Cons

      Pay outside of the tech team is not competitive, and even tech has trouble competing. Resource allocation across the company is imperfect for new and for existing headcount. Sometimes we think that communicating a lot is the same as being transparent. It can be hard to get stuff done if you aren't located in Seattle.

      Pros

      Management is very honest and open about everything going on at the company. Lots of effort goes into making Zillow a fun place to work. Employees are encouraged and rewarded for taking initiative.

      Cons

      I really don't have much in the way of criticism. Mostly just make sure you keep the company awesome like it is now.

      Overwork you, and expect you to work about 10 hr days, no overtime Constant cold calling, and once again, expect you to stay into late hours/early mornings doing so terrible work/life balance

      Thanks for taking the time to relate your experiences at Zillow and I am glad there were some positives to your time here. In regards to the work life balance issue, we believe it's important to be able to achieve sales goals in an 8 hour work day and that's how we operate on a day to day basis. The vast majority of our sales people would tell you that we've have achieved the right balance - With good focus , our people are able to exceed their goals without having to work extended hours or weekends.
