Typical Tech Company. San Francisco office is nice, but doesn't get quite the recognition that the Seattle office does.

Pros

Great leadership and positive momentum from upper management. The pay is decent. Mostly stress free environment (at least for engineering). Management is fairly lenient about taking time off during the day and working from home (for now at least). Stock options are generous. Finally did 401k matching. Kudos. We appreciate you all changing your mind about that.

Cons

San Francisco office management feels distant and almost lacking direction. I attribute that to the Trulia acquisition where hopefully the misfits of Zillow San Francisco can feel like they are part of the group once that comes into play. The San Francisco office is mostly a a tech centric office that isn't as vibrant as other offices. Don't get me wrong, I'm a quiet egghead myself, but it can be a little drab with lack of other personalities. The bathroom. It's nasty and we have to walk a city block to get to it. Thankfully we are moving soon.

Hi, I appreciate the feedback. The Zillow SF office is moving into the Trulia space in a few weeks (hopefully by end of March) which I think will help a lot with the issues you are concerned about. Also, we have a new leader of the rentals team (from Trulia) who is based in San Francisco so I think you will be pleased with that change as well. Thank you!

Pros

The company culture is relaxed and fun. The people are passionate about their work without being over-driven. I feel like I have an impact, which is very impressive in a medium-large company. Zillow has many morale events with great food and drinks. Zillow often hosts major influencers in business and politics to speak and answer questions, which can be very interesting. Free espresso drinks, anytime!

Cons

Not as nimble as some smaller companies, but for the size they are more nimble than can be expected.
