Pros

Awesome company, great people, great culture. I love everything about working here. Very excited to be a part of it

Cons

Need to come in early sometimes, stay late other times. Not really a con, just something I have never done before. But I'm proud to be a part of it

Spencer (CEO) here. Thank you for the great feedback. I'm glad you are having a good experience here. I love visiting the Denver office, which as you know, I do very frequently. The vibe in Denver is awesome, the team is motivated, and the results are extremely impressive. Thank you for your hard work.

Pros

Awesome place to work! I absolutely loved my internship. Pros: -Great pay ($36/hr) -Free (very nice) housing in downtown Seattle -Great, helpful, friendly co-workers -Lots of fun events (jet skis, movies, whirly ball, rafting, etc) -You hear loads of upper management and executives speak -Learn a ton about enterprise level web development -Small enough company that the work you do is visible and impactful

Cons

Zillow's growth means there's lots of growing pains: -there's great difficulty deprecating anything -similarly, bad architecture only gets worse as things grow -there was a lot of struggles around the testing framework when I was around

Thanks for the feedback, and all your efforts this summer. We have been hosting interns from the very beginning of our company history, and this was our biggest class to date. Each year we look to further improve the program and ensure our interns are both learning and contributing and feel like part of the team. We continue to invest in raising the value and efficiency of our test automation, and you are right that it is a work in progress. We've managed to largely stay ahead of the curve as we've grown in size and some complexity while also working to make our releases more frequent. Giving teams time to reinvest in the core architecture is something we have been doing for a while now, but after ten years, there are some areas we will keep working on. Fortunately, most of our devs are working on new code and functionality, helping to make a better service and user experience. If there is more specific feedback you or any of our interns have, you can easily contact me at davebei@zillow.com. I'd love to hear from you. Thanks again for your efforts this summer and I hope our paths cross again in the future. - David Beitel CTO, Zillow Group
