Pretty great place. Some growing pains

Pros

The exec team tries very hard to make employees feel empowered + part of something broader. The company is on track to do phenomenal things. People who work here are smart, motivated and certain teams have incredible cohesion (especially dev teams).

Cons

It can be cliquish within depts/teams -- I.e. certain people manage all forward-facing projects. Immediate management is not always great -- further trainings and support for managers should be provided in teaching them how to encourage great work from their reports. Some work-life practices should be instilled within departments -- Particularly encouragement to take a sick day rather than WFH, regular lunch breaks, etc. This sort of balance needs to be modeled by immediate managers to create a trickle-down effect of a better environment for all.

Thank you for the review and the feedback. I definitely agree that we could do a better job of manager training, and this is something that we are working on. Corina (and the whole Learning & Development function) are working on this. Thank you for the comments!

Pros

I was super nervous when this acquisition between Mortech/Zillow went down but this seriously has to be one of the best places to work in country, let alone Lincoln NE. Perks Include: Game Rooms (Ping Pong, Shuffleboard, Video Games, Golf, Basketball) Catered Lunches (Every Wednesday and special occasions) Free snacks/drinks Laid Back Work Atmosphere (tunes playing through Sonos speakers all day) Great Benefits Work Outings that are really fun Great People Opportunity 2X a year to work on whatever you want to improve company/product Casual Dress Code Encouraged to email anyone from manager to CEO with anything you need

Cons

I'd love to see more accountability between departments, too many issues turn into a "he said she said" type conversations that can get frustrating not only to employees but our customers.

I can understand why many folks were worried about the acquisition when it originally happened, but I'm so glad you are really happy with where we ended up together. Zillow's mortgages business is much stronger with Mortech and Zillow Mortgages united. Thx for your feedback about cross department functionality - it's something Jason and Doug are already working on and we'd love any other input you have on how we could do better on that in particular. - Erin Lantz, VP Mortgages
