Pros

For the majority, everyone that works at Zillow is smart, creative, and driven. It is also a very open company that is truly trying to make the Real Estate/Rental world better for all parties involved.

Cons

Being Seattle based, the salaries perks are not as competitive as a lot of San Francisco base companies. It is also a bit more traditional in a bureaucratic sense and not as flexible as a lot of the other Silicon Valley based companies.

Thank you for your review - I'm glad you're having a good experience at zillow. I'm sorry you find the comp low; hopefully we're working on improving that for you and others. Historically our cash comp was lowerish because we were privately held and venture-backed. As we made the transition to being a public company, we increased cash comp to be more similar to other companies that we compete with for talent (e.g., Amazon, Microsoft). In most cases we now feel that we stack up very well, especially considering the equity component of our compensation, and other advantages of being at Zillow -- career development, relative autonomy, interesting work. Oh, and the fact that we're winning, and winning is fun. Anyway, comp is an important part of the overall equation, and something I/we are watching closely.
