Zillow Principal Software Development Engineer reviews

Thank you for your comments and feedback. I am glad you are enjoying working at Zillow and experiencing many of the things that make Zillow Group a great place to work and built a career. I agree that we have more we need to do to make the release and development processes more efficient and hassle free. We've been making significant investments in this area over the last few years and we are seeing those improved tools and procedures helping. If you see other things you think we should be doing to help accelerate, please let me know. Some of our devs have enjoyed Velociteering to help make a more sizable impact on the backlog. That said, we have continued to increase the release frequency of our main release vehicle as well as increase the number of "on demand" releases throughout the week. Again, more to do, but good progress being made. I'm sorry if you have experienced a Development Manager who is not meeting your expectations. He do prefer a promote from within approach, and many of our managers are new managers. With increased training that we provide, I am seeing good growth in these new managers. If you have constructive feedback on any of our managers, please pass it on. As you know, we encourage peer and manager feedback to help provide insights into these experiences and room for improvement. Again, thanks for the feedback and all you are doing to help Zillow succeed in our mission.
