Pros

What a fantastic and forward thinking company to be at! The company culture is one of the best I had ever been at, I was so excited to make my mark going forward...a dream come true type of career...

Cons

Unfortunately the ability to go to different departments and explore different opportunities is limited And restricted based on what department you are currently located in.

Thank you for your review and the acknowledgement of the amazing culture and progressive nature of Zillow Group. At Zillow Group we pride ourselves on promoting from within whenever the opportunity and business needs align. And, we’re proud of the fact that many of our leadership, technical and new venture positions have been seeded by top talent within our ranks. I’m sorry to hear that we weren’t able to make this happen for you, but, it’s not because the opportunities aren’t there. But, we’re certainly not perfect, so I’d love to talk further on ideas you have to improve things for others going forwards. Feel free to contact me at gbland@ZillowGroup.com. Thank you again for your review and we wish you the best of luck in your new endeavors. Greg Bland, VP, Sales – Denver Site Director.

Pros

Very collaborative team, encouraging team members and managers. Great experience overall.

Cons

Because most people work remote, sometimes it can be hard to meet immediately to chat.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
