      Pros

      The biggest thing that sets Zillow apart from other places I've worked and from where many of my friends work is the people. Zillow has a very open and friendly environment that encourages collaboration and growth. It isn't just your coworkers though. Management from your direct management to group managers and even VPs are invested in you personally. They care about what your working on. They care about what you want to work on. They care about making sure you aren't working to much. That you are happy in your position and team. They care about your career development. There is a lot of support from all sides and no issue will go unaddressed.

      Cons

      Zillow is a medium sized, fast growing company. That means it has all the medium sized company problems. Frequent team reorganizations, cross office communication problems, growing pains from trying to rapidly leave old crufty systems. Not bogged down by bureaucracy yet, but definitely infected with some old code.

      awesome, thank you for the great feedback yes, prexit can't come soon enough!! paying down tech debt as we go is an important principle, as evidenced by our velocity team and the "velociteers" model that we have. it's not perfect, but it's definitely better than most companies' approach to tech debt. thank you for commenting on our prioritization of career development. as you know, this is something we have worked hard on lately and I think we have made good progress.

      Pros

      When you give your very best you to Zillow, they give their best right back at you. The management team listens and pays close attention to what you have to offer, to see how they can help provide support and encouragement, to grow within the company. The doors are always open! Everyone works hard to collaborate on building the best user experience that we can but we also taking time out to play a few rounds of ping-pong or grab a free snack (fruit, chips, pretzels, carrots, hard boiled eggs, hummus, jelly beans, mini-candy bars, the you-name-it it's-on-the-candy-wall candy, nuts, trail mix, yes..Zillow provides all of that...everyday!). Our office fosters creativity and brain space with so many relaxing rooms/window seats/kitchens/libraries to work, take a break, or just enjoy the amazing views!

      Cons

      Just that all of my friends are jealous!

      Pros

      Zillow is a great place to work. Great culture, great CEO, and lots of free snacks and perks. Employees are friendly to each other. Plus, there are Hackweeks to try whatever we like.

      Cons

      Lack of organizational level standard (maybe a not a totally bad thing) : Each team tends to do thing with a bit of their own culture. Some teams are more strict while some teams are more chill. Some teams are more old school while teams some are more innovative. Pay level is okay but not as competitive.

      Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you like it here. I would agree there are differences between the teams just like the work they are doing is. However, you bring up a good point and I’ll look into that more. As far as pay we always try to remain competitive and because of that we reassess compensation companywide every year. – Justin LaJoie, VP
