Hi, thanks for you feedback. It’s great to hear you think we’re doing well as a company, and the benefits are good. It’s very important to me our employees feel valued. Sounds like we’re doing a good job there. In terms of growth, I agree it’s competitive at Zillow for internal positions. But I know your managers are happy to help catapult you to the next level under the right circumstances. This happens most frequently when an employee consistently excels at their current role, continuously sharpens existing skills, and adds new ones from both inside and outside Zillow (the free access to Lynda.com Zillow provides is a great place to start). While there is definitely a pattern to our work, think of it as a chance to really master something, become an expert in the process, and find a rhythm to excel (and give feedback to make it better!), as opposed to it being monotonous. I’m happy to connect directly and hear more from you. Feel free to reach out any time, jrg@zillow.com -JR

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).
