Thanks for your feedback and glad you found the work-life balance of our culture attractive. Would love to understand more about your experience here and where you found "low tech levels" and whether your sense was based on a specific project vs. something larger. Our science and engineering teams produce valuable patents, peer review publications, speak at conferences, put on conferences (e.g., Zillow AI Forum), and sponsor global data science competitions which connect us with the brightest ideas from around the world. If you'd like to share more about your experience, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. - Stan Humphries, Chief Analytics Officer

Pros

The biggest thing that sets Zillow apart from other places I've worked and from where many of my friends work is the people. Zillow has a very open and friendly environment that encourages collaboration and growth. It isn't just your coworkers though. Management from your direct management to group managers and even VPs are invested in you personally. They care about what your working on. They care about what you want to work on. They care about making sure you aren't working to much. That you are happy in your position and team. They care about your career development. There is a lot of support from all sides and no issue will go unaddressed.

Cons

Zillow is a medium sized, fast growing company. That means it has all the medium sized company problems. Frequent team reorganizations, cross office communication problems, growing pains from trying to rapidly leave old crufty systems. Not bogged down by bureaucracy yet, but definitely infected with some old code.

awesome, thank you for the great feedback yes, prexit can't come soon enough!! paying down tech debt as we go is an important principle, as evidenced by our velocity team and the "velociteers" model that we have. it's not perfect, but it's definitely better than most companies' approach to tech debt. thank you for commenting on our prioritization of career development. as you know, this is something we have worked hard on lately and I think we have made good progress.
