Pros

great benefits, free food, brand recognition

Cons

its all about the shareholders, pivot, pivot, pivot, corporate restructure, letting go of tenured employees. Very stressful and monotonous.

Pros

•The management. No micromanagement at all, lots of freedom, and they really do treat you like family. After working for Zillow for a little while, I decided to go back to personal training in the Seattle area. It was one of the hardest decisions over ever made. When telling my managers about my choice, they fully supported my decision. They told me I would always be part of the Zillow family and that I'd always have a place here. •The employees. Again, family. Zillow has a long/tough interview process, and it shows. They pick out only the best. Everyone is so genuine and easy to get along with. •The benefits. Literally anything you need covered or helped with, they provide. •The candy wall...for obvious reasons.

Cons

I can't think of anything.
