Pros

Despite having over 2,000 employees, Zillow Group still feels like a small company. The office has an open plan, and you can go talk to anyone in the company (or use Slack) about whatever, whenever. The people and the office space are a really great environment for success. I could list hundreds of other fantastic things about Zillow, but that would take forever!

Cons

Open office spaces aren't for everyone. It can be distracting to see and hear people around your desk while you're trying to work. Otherwise, I don't have anything to complain about!

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).
