      Pros

      I love the collaborative energy here. They really care about their employees. They survey the entire company to see what we would like to get added to the long list of benefits. I have great Co-Workers that are helpful and fun. Also, I love the fresh fruit that comes twice a week. They care about work life balance and know the importance of having fun at work and away from work. I come from a large software company so I went from feeling like a small cog in a large machine. I had an office with no windows and no sense of team in a very "office political" environment. Here I am an important member of a team with a great view.

      Cons

      Would love to see Zillow offer in-house child care. This is the one area I think we could improve on.

      Thank you for the great review. I really appreciate it. It made my day. In terms of in-office child care, that is something we have thought about but I think the last time we evaluated it we decided it was too complex from a regulatory standpoint (i.e., the licensing and other legal stuff made it too hard). We decided that there are a few nearby options which work well enough (e.g., Bright Horizons around the corner) so that was probably good. As we continue to add more people though, I'm sure we'll revisit it. I, for one, would have loved to have had my 3 kids in the building while I was at work, so I definitely get where you're coming from! (And while we're at it, I hope someday to be able to convince our Seattle building owner to allow us to bring dogs to work, like we can in our other offices.)

      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).
