Pros

The people, the culture, the innovation. There are so many creative and intelligent people here. I feel motivated to do my best each day.

Cons

The only challenge is the growing challenge of communication between teams and departments as the company grows. We're doing ok, but it's something we'll have to stay on top of.

I definitely agree that staying on top of cross-team communication is a priority as we are getting bigger. Thank you for taking care of our users -- customer support is so important. We spend so much effort and money attracting our audience and our advertisers that we have to make sure they both have a great experience once they are inside the Zillow community. That's where support comes in.

Pros

* Great environment and culture * Company fosters individual growth * Lots of perks and morale events * Z-speaker series! We've had Arianna Huffington and Vicente Fox come give talks, for example * Transparency * Free snacks, free lunches at the end of the month and on days where there are events * Great work/life balance * Fair, competitive compensation for engineers * Engineering teams are committed to moving forward and fixing issues with both code and process, rather than band-aiding things

Cons

* Growing rapidly, which is great, but things do change a lot and sometimes it takes a while to catch up to them * Snacks rotate too frequently. Don't get too attached to anything, because it might be gone the next month. * Lots of domain knowledge required to move through the code base very effectively. This can be a little bit intimidating for new hires, and can extend ramp-up to several months if your work touches multiple areas on the site. Don't feel intimidate to ask someone, though, because we've all been through it, fully understand, and are working to improve it.
