Pros

Smart people - Zillow is a the place to experience awesome marketing and media product innovation. Transparency and trust - Zillow leadership communicates the details of the business' performance to all employees regularly. Ethics & ideals - despite being extremely ambitious A-type entrepreneurs, it's a rare honor to work with a team that really tries to do the right thing and who are leaving the RE industry better than they found it.

Cons

Thin option allocations in a small co. with a declining book value. Top heavy org is unnecessarily political for a small company.

Pros

The environment is fantastic and everyone has the same goals in common in making zillow the best online real estate website. It is a very fun and energetic environment to be around which makes it easier to come to work each day. This is also the first place that I worked where there was free coffee, soda, juices and snacks! We also have an amazing view of the Pugent Sound and the mountains from the 46th floor of the Wells Fargo building. The laid back dress code is also a plus, since we don't have to spend a lot of time getting too dressed up in the morning.

Cons

I don't see any downsides to working at zillow.

Grand vision, great success dependent on execution especially in the macro headwinds.

Pros

This is a great company that has grand vision to revolutionize the real estate industry --- an industry that is relatively later in embracing internet than others such as travel, brokerage and shopping. A great company lives for a vision, a good company lives for competition. By far Zillow is the best and most promising start-up in the great Seattle region.

Cons

There is always risk there for a start-up. There is a trade-off between the long term potential v.s. short-term reward. We are all learning how to run a successful start-up especially at the down time of the global market. The success of a start-up depends on each of its employees.
