Pros

Zillow is by far the best company I have ever been employed by. They truly respect their employees and treat us incredibly well. The culture is amazing and the support we receive from upper management is great! You can make as much money as you want as long as you work hard...the pay structure is very pro-employee. GREAT BENEFITS AS WELL! I can't imagine working for any other company!

Cons

High-stress sales environment----but that's sales so it's to be expected.

Pros

There are many perks that I appreciate, 401k, Stock Options, Great Medical Benefits , smart people to work with and helpful Managers.I am really impressed with the company transparency. You can walk up to Mr Rascoff the CEO and have a conversation with him whenever he visits Irvine office. Our Leader John B. is great, always willing to roll up his sleeves and get in the trenches with his employees . Also I like working for the #1 company in our industry! You do work hard no doubt but when you finish your work day you know you gave all you had for that day and that is very gratifying for me!

Cons

As a older employee (in my 50's) I sometimes struggle with technology and speed (although I must say my Manger is always ready to help) Also I have been penalized for not hitting call time everyday, but its part of the job requirement and is a proven success formula.

Pros

I've been a software developer for almost 10 years, including 2+ years at Amazon. Zillow is the best job I've ever had. Zillow treats you like a highly valued employee, not just a cog in a machine. The real estate space has great potential for disruption, and Zillow is positioned perfectly to take advantage of it. Work hours are reasonable. I leave my work at work. No work email on my phone, no pager. There's catered lunches at least once a month. Free snacks and soda and cereal and milk every day. There's a game room with Foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, Xbox and N64. People play games daily for a short break from writing code (Mario Kart and Smash Bros are huge). The CEO and the Founder interact with employees and are very personable. Teammates are smart and generous with their time to help new hires ramp up. Ramping up to speed does not take as long as at other companies.

Cons

There is no 401(k) match.
