Pros

Great opportunities for growth and career development. Management assesses what your skill set is and what you enjoy doing and then finds opportunities for you to get involved in projects that fit your specific skills and passions. Zillow is also an incredibly FUN place to work. From block parties to engaging and famous guest speakers, there is always something to look forward to on your calendar. Even though Zillow Group has more than 2,000 employees now, I know that if I have a great idea it has the potential to be acted upon which is a rare and beautiful testament to how special this company is.

Cons

Cold and flu germs spread pretty easily in the open concept office layout... but so do innovative ideas and friendships.

Pros

Great people, benefits, view, snacks and room to growth as the team is growing rapidly.

Cons

Specfically, for this position. The work is extremely repetitive. Only way to break that is to move up within the team or make a lateral move.

Thanks for the review. I understand the note re: the job being repetitive. We're aware of this and are working on/thinking of ways to make it more fun and interesting. Of course, as you noted, the team is growing fast, and that also leads to more opportunities for growth (in this team and others.) -Tony VP and GM, Premier Agent

Pros

I've been in sales for over 20 years and have found that the overall experience at Zillow has been VERY rewarding and fulfilling. The culture is beyond compare and, if you know how to work hard, you are compensated very well for it. I'd recommend working for Zillow to any of my friends and family members without hesitation.

Cons

The only downside that I've found is that my significant other is not included in all of the award dinners/ etc that I've been able to attend. I love my fellow employees, but would rather spend that time outside of work with my wife . Not complaining about the awards, just would like to share in them with my wife.

Thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear you're enjoying your experience at Zillow so much. Especially since you've been around and can compare it to other opportunities...this means even more. And, great idea! Yes, starting this year, we will set aside at least one event in Denver to allow our Top Performers to bring a significant other to the recognition event. Thanks again for your feedback and I wanted you to know we listen. Have a great day! Greg Bland (VP/Site Director - Denver Zillow)
