Pros

Compensation plan is above and beyond what other companies offer, lots of help if you have questions about anything. Training and leads are provided so there is no cold calling. Fun atmosphere, even if it is really stressful the team leads do their best to lighten the mood and create a good work environment for their LO's.

Cons

It can get pretty loud on the floor area. Getting licensed can be realty difficult if you aren't prepared. Super fast paced environment, if you aren't structured, you wont do well.

Pretty good place to work at

Senior software development engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome physical environment. Zillow tends to hire smart people who also have empathy towards others. Lots of room for growth in the business. Decent compensation. No on-call. A lot of promotions from within.

Cons

Slow release process. It's being worked on but was shipping once every 2 weeks, and sometimes once a month, which can be frustrating when what you work on requires iterations. A lot of tech stack is result of hack week projects that doesn't seem to have much ongoing support. Some teams lack clear charter.

Thank you for your feedback. I see that you are a former employee, so you might not know that we have moved to weekly releases and are working on improving our deployment and monitoring processes as we head toward a continuous deployment model. Our "Velocity" model of having a small core team working with all the product teams on core tools and architecture is going reasonably well and in the last 3-6 months the ramp of people engaging and projects getting shipped from the Velocity backlog is increasing. There is certainly a lot more time being dedicated (target has been 15%) towards this work, and while some engineers work on these projects during Hackweek (which happens in Seattle 3 times a year), much more is being done outside of Hackweeks. So, room for improvement, but progress is being made. If you or anyone still at Zillow has more specific feedback or ideas on specific projects we should prioritize, please reach out to me and your manager. And if anyone has any doubt what the charter of their team, PLEASE talk to me and your team lead. With our small team model, there should be clear alignment and understanding on this. Again, thanks for your feedback and best of luck in your current gig. - David Beitel, Zillow Group CTO.
