Best environment. Management creates a conducive environment to succeed. CEO is hands on and open door policy is actually a reality. I am blessed to work there.

Cons

This might sound cheesy… NOTHING.

Pros

I can't say enough good things about Zillow. The original founders and current leadership have infused the company with a passion beyond that of any other company I'm aware of. I believe we have a really great vision and an incredible about of growth potential ahead of us, and that makes the company so much fun to work out. Employees are treated very, very well, we have a really fun culture, we're paid well enough and have stock options that continue to grow, and we're still at that perfect size where a single employee can make a really big difference in the company as a whole.

Cons

Pay for engineers at least seems to be a bit below what other employers pay. You probably won't get a salary offer that matches one from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or the like. That said, if you ask me, working at such a neat company w/ insane growth and potential for career advancement makes the tradeoff worth it.

Thank you for your review! I'm so glad that you're having a great experience at Zillow. I agree that we need to keep guarding against the creeping forces of mediocrity. We must never become a "rest-and-vest" culture. We all know companies like that, and they always fail in the end. Not on my watch! Please use the 360-degree review process to flag any performance issues you see. You can also always anonymously email me through the "Zillow Talk Blog" on the zwiki. Thank you!

Pros

For the majority, everyone that works at Zillow is smart, creative, and driven. It is also a very open company that is truly trying to make the Real Estate/Rental world better for all parties involved.

Cons

Being Seattle based, the salaries perks are not as competitive as a lot of San Francisco base companies. It is also a bit more traditional in a bureaucratic sense and not as flexible as a lot of the other Silicon Valley based companies.
