Zillow reviews

Thank you for your review - I'm glad you're having a good experience at zillow. I'm sorry you find the comp low; hopefully we're working on improving that for you and others. Historically our cash comp was lowerish because we were privately held and venture-backed. As we made the transition to being a public company, we increased cash comp to be more similar to other companies that we compete with for talent (e.g., Amazon, Microsoft). In most cases we now feel that we stack up very well, especially considering the equity component of our compensation, and other advantages of being at Zillow -- career development, relative autonomy, interesting work. Oh, and the fact that we're winning, and winning is fun. Anyway, comp is an important part of the overall equation, and something I/we are watching closely.

Thank you for this review. I try to do frequent company meetings, and lots of small group meetings, in order to keep communication very open between execs and the entire company. You're right that cross-team collaboration becomes harder as the company grows, but it's something I'm working hard on and I think we're definitely better than most companies. Always room for improvement though!
