Pros

Great benefits and easily the most helpful culture I’ve ever been a part of.

Cons

1) Constant Pivots As a former employee who was part of the lay off, these organizational changes, or “pivots” was a major factor in my ability to thrive long term. The first pivot resulted in a 25% layoff, following a massive failure in the iBuying space. The second pivot forced hundreds to lose their jobs, mine included. The worst part was reading the press release, stating that the newest round of layoffs “was to make room for another pivot into the housing super app.” Change can be scary, so the saying goes. But change is terrifying when it is reoccurring, causing job losses, and being driven by unrealistic ambitions for the future of Zillow.

Pros

Great brand recognition, and good for building a strong network.

Cons

Low pay, and leadership flat out lies to their direct reports about pretty much everything. Some really incredible people work at Zillow, but most don't get to utilize their strengths b/c Sr. Leaders are power hungry, and/or straight order takers from the C-Suite, and have zero creative authority.

Pros

Met some really cool people and co-workers who I call my friends to this day. Good benefits.

Cons

Chaotic work environment Unclear objectives-Nobody really knows what's going on, ever. Extremely unstable This company does lay-offs all of the time, even if they tell you that your job is safe. My two good friends just were blind-sided by a lay-off after their job was promised to be safe for at least a year. I smelled the cool-aid from the beginning and got out and found a more secure and stable role after 5 months. Micromanagement (30 minute lunch breaks where you clock in and out)
