Pros

Besides the typically perks you get working at a tech company, (free food, weekly HH's, offsite events, etc) the overall culture here is awesome! I can honestly say the best part of working here is my coworkers. People come from various backgrounds, and I dig the diversity! Everyone is really smart, respectful and overall just a fun group to be around. Also, we have a good gender ratio here (as a female, that's pretty important to me) which can be difficult in tech companies. Also, dog friendly = awesome!

Cons

Trying to keep track of all the new people getting hired!

Thank you for your great review of Zillow and the San Francisco office. I'm glad you are enjoying our culture and smart diverse coworkers. I agree it is great to see so many female tech folks, particularly in San Francisco!

Pros

I have worked at Zillow for just under a year. I actually found the job listing a year ago on Glassdoor and after reading the reviews, I knew it was too good to be true. Everyday when I walk in the office, I am so happy to be there. From my co-workers, to the environment, to the snacks--- it's so easy to see the culture. Zillow thrives on our core values, for example: think big, move fast and winning is fun. These values are apparent in each of the employees. They are posted on our walls as constant reminder of what we are here to do. I work directly with our Sales Team and Agents. Though at times, it can be tiring, like any job, I have never been more excited helping my colleagues and customers at any other job. I have scheduled monthly meetings with my supervisor, though it's rare that a week goes by without us checking in. My manager is in touch, as well as the VP. I have never felt happier at any company that I have worked at. Of course there are moments when you are physically and mentally tired, but it's worth it.

Cons

The only con isn't really a con in my eyes... we are growing so quickly that we can't hire support in each department fast enough. The work load is tough at times. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Pros

-Ridiculously fast growth and fantastic culture. -Hack week is probably the most fun I've had in my software dev career. -The people around me are the best balance of passionate, fun, yet professional that I've worked with in the industry. -There's always a lot of interesting work to do and problems to solve, but I'm still able to consistently work 40-45 hours a week.

Cons

Not quite elite compensation package, The company seems to be trying to hire the top candidates, but offered a smaller comp package than what I was offered from Twitter and Facebook, and no free (daily) meals or parking.
