Pros

Zillow focuses on hiring the best people and treating them like rockstars. No dress code, open office layout, free stocked cafeteria, weekly catered lunches, and fun off-site events are just a few of the non-traditional perks. They also have an awesome medical plan, stock options, and flexible PTO policy. You'll hear a lot of people mention "culture" as they talk about their experience at Zillow. That's because Zillow knows when you treat your employees well, THEY ACTUALLY ENJOY WORK! And we do. We have fun while growing a successful business. Senior management has the ship steered towards growth and their foot is on the gas.

Cons

Since Zillow hires rockstars, they want you to ROCK. Some might consider this challenge dead in the water. However, expectations are weighted on experience and skill level. If you set reasonable goals, they are achievable without being overly stressed.

Thank you for the great review! As you know, I love going to Lincoln. You guys are crushing it, and it's such a fun office to be in. Kathleen (COO) feels the same way and is always so fired up when she comes back from Lincoln. I think the recent changes there are going to be great as well. And thanks for the advice not to stop or get complacent. No worries there - I have no intention of slowing down, nor will I let anyone else!

Pros

They practice what they preach from the top down. Everyone works really hard while they're here and then you leave the job at the office when you go home. The culture is one of genuine helpfulness and that we're all working towards something great. I have yet to come across anyone that puts up roadblocks. They hire super smart people and highly value employee referrals.

Cons

The on-boarding process is a little shaky. I assume it's because of the fast growth, but HR needs to expand to keep up.

We are in the middle of re-vamping our onboarding process to include more than just day one and expand to first 90 days. We are putting in place more tools for new hires to be successful as they take on their new roles. We welcome your feedback so please feel free to send HR or Spencer any specific ideas you have.

Pros

Zillow was my first job out of college from business school at the University of Washington and I couldn't have asked for a better transition into the corporate world. The leaders that I've had the privilege to work under have helped me shape my work ethic and have given me confidence in a work setting. I feel comfortable to share my ideas with those that work above me, and I truly feel like what I have to say is taken into consideration. I've now worked in two positions at Zillow and am grateful that I've had the opportunity to grow alongside the company. There is a strong focus on company culture and transparency which you don't see enough in companies today.

Cons

With the company growing so fast, new teams are emerging in every department. Better training for those who are being moved in to a management position would be nice - however, I know this is on the radar and will be taken into consideration in the near future.
