Pros

Move fast thing big. If you aren't into moving quickly and thinking big picture about the future of the goals of this company, it's audience, and it's advertisers, don't bother. If you are a driven individual who believes in the huge forecasted picture of the company you exhaust yourself for, this is the place for you. Run by true professionals and amazingly smart people, Zillow Group has shaped my life over the last 3 years and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity it has presented my family and myself. The opportunity has provided me purpose, direction, and a feeling of gratification that we are moving the needle of introducing agents to consumers, mortgage lenders to consumers, etc. etc. five years from now when you google anything home related you can bet your last dollar it will be a Zillow Group owned site. If you want to be a part of the revolution, I suggest you do anything you can, as quickly as you can... to jump aboard. things are moving quick!

Cons

I unbiasedly cannot think of any

Pros

Too many specifics to list here, especially without parroting all of the others - outstanding health benefits, discretionary time off (huge for new hires who don't have to wait for years to accumulate time off), morale events, interesting speakers, and the list goes on. The biggest pro is leadership that truly listens to its employee base. In the year I have been here Zillow has stepped up in offering a more aggressive 401k package, top-notch health benefits, more competitive pay scale, option of RSUs vs. options, DTO vs. PTO, and so much more. Every enhanced benefit is in direct response to the collective voice of the personnel. Bottom line - employees are treated as adults and allowed to perform at a high level.

Cons

My position is one of the few still typically still occupied by Boomers in a house full of Millenials, so for those fortunate enough to qualify for a position here later in one's career you better be young at heart to keep up.
