Pros

I love the collaborative energy here. They really care about their employees. They survey the entire company to see what we would like to get added to the long list of benefits. I have great Co-Workers that are helpful and fun. Also, I love the fresh fruit that comes twice a week. They care about work life balance and know the importance of having fun at work and away from work. I come from a large software company so I went from feeling like a small cog in a large machine. I had an office with no windows and no sense of team in a very "office political" environment. Here I am an important member of a team with a great view.

Cons

Would love to see Zillow offer in-house child care. This is the one area I think we could improve on.

Thank you for the great review. I really appreciate it. It made my day. In terms of in-office child care, that is something we have thought about but I think the last time we evaluated it we decided it was too complex from a regulatory standpoint (i.e., the licensing and other legal stuff made it too hard). We decided that there are a few nearby options which work well enough (e.g., Bright Horizons around the corner) so that was probably good. As we continue to add more people though, I'm sure we'll revisit it. I, for one, would have loved to have had my 3 kids in the building while I was at work, so I definitely get where you're coming from! (And while we're at it, I hope someday to be able to convince our Seattle building owner to allow us to bring dogs to work, like we can in our other offices.)

Lose talent because of contract roles

Pros

Great work life balance, free food occasionally, nice atmosphere, great coworkers.

Cons

I had a great experience at Zillow and echo the great things that have been said about it. One of biggest cons I saw was for the contractors at Zillow. I started on a contract myself and it takes a long time to receive an offer to go full-time at Zillow. I would not deny that the 6 month contract is a great launching place but the lack of healthcare (many staffing companies have crappy or no benefits), the lack of job security, and the uncertainty about getting hired on is tough. Most of the contractors I spoke with shared my opinion. I saw so much great talent leave Zillow and find employment elsewhere after 10+ months because they weren't getting hired on and needed to make more money than the hourly rate that contractors receive after the agency takes a huge cut. Great place to work but if you still have someone on your team after 6+ months, as a manager, you should be pushing to get them hired on. With the rate at which Zillow is hiring, why aren't contractors getting offers?

This is great feedback. I haven't focused very much on this issue before, but I will look into it now. Thank you!
