      Pros

      Best reasons to work for Zillow include working with very bright and talent people, under exceptional great leaders such as the founders and managers. Zillow potential long-term upside is very clear to me. It has a very strong solid foundation allowing it to grows much bigger than it is today. This foundation includes successful experienced top rate management team, amazingly smart and hard working employees. Together, the people at Zillow has a working process to build, upgrade and improve products that can attract customers without spending advertising money. The products such as Zestimate and Mortgage Market place are fundamental bases for many product expansions to attract many visitors to the Zillow website.

      Cons

      Small start up company with high risk of not turning profitability within expected time line.

      Zillow doing mighty things with a small, kick-ass team

      Pros

      Startups can be notoriously brutal in terms of hours and changes in direction. Zillow is no exception, except the people are respectful of each other (no barking) and there is compassion around family issues and personal pursuits. Everyone is left to do their job to the best of their abilities. No one micro-manages you (unless you're underperforming) and you are allowed to be as creative and innovative as you'd like -- as long as it makes sense with the "play" that is called each year.

      Cons

      The unknown. With the economy we're in right now (2008 - 2009), we are in the eye of the storm -- real estate -- so no one knows how we will fare once the dust settles. Also, if you like to be a prima donna, you have no reason to be at Zillow. Everyone does the dishes, everyone refills the copier with paper... in other words, we do it all -- our jobs and beyond. Also, the salaries and benefits are OK -- not great, not bad, but just OK. Hey, it's a startup!

      Great Expectations - it's not all fun and games at Zillow. The company is headed for great things.

      Pros

      Fun. Beyond the team "morale" activities, sponsored ski days, ping pong, Guitar Hero, and other activities, the people at Zillow are friendly and warm. Laughter is a sound heard almost daily. People enjoy working at Zillow. Honest, approahcable leadership. The executive team is absolutely forthright about their decisions (and mistakes), the status of the company, and the direction moving forward. Furthermore, these honchos are down to Earth and easy to talk with. For example, the CEO sits on the floor during all-hand meetings and has even been known to kowtow in thanks for hard work. The company feels like one big team.

      Cons

      Hard economic times have especially affected start-ups like Zillow. Layoffs, the struggles to make profit in a down market, and the relentless pace of under-staffed development slowly sap the energy of a small company. Because the company is still young, there are limited resources for salary increases or other incentives. Stock options can only entice so much effort.
