Pros

Great work, working on high impact teams (as a software engineer). Lots of flexibility and management is very good about being flexible but also making sure you get your work done. STRONG emphasis on good work life balance!

Cons

Some of the RSU/Stock option compensations are lacking but they're in the process of fixing that. Benefits and pay are good, but could be better!

Thanks for your feedback. I am glad you are feeling that you are able to have a high impact. We purposefully structure our small product teams to provide this. If you have ideas on how we can make these teams work better, please come find me in the office and share. Our stock, along with the entire market, has been down some lately, but with a long term approach we are focusing on the right things to help the business grow. If we execute well, the stock should follow. That said, I am glad we have rolled out a unique RSU/option choice program that gives employees choice. Again, thanks for your feedback and hard work making Zillow successful. David Beitel, Zillow Group CTO

Pros

Great culture. This includes cool events like “Hackweek,” a week-long event held three times a year where we get to work on our own projects. Happy hours, team building events, game room, cook-offs, etc. Smart people. Continually impressed by my colleagues. Interesting work. This is because of the company size: small enough to make an impact but large enough to be secure. Great management (this is huge!). I personally see little politics within the team. Lots of autonomy. Hours are okay. No need to work every weekend.

Cons

Pay and benefits very below average for industry. No annual bonus (at least in my org). Stock tanked, leaving some employees with worthless options. It's a big source of discontent and the reason why some have left or are leaving for companies next door like Amazon, Google, Tableau. Unclear path for advancement within the company. No training. Employees are expected to learn on their own outside of work hours.

Pros

-Benefits package is unreal -Happy Hours -Comp Plan (ability to make 6 figures your first year) -Company holiday trip to Seattle once a year -Transparency - Working for the #1 company in the industry - Tons of Spiffs to keep me motivated - Leaders are in the trenches, they want us to succeed - Coaching constantly - Fun work environment - Smart and talented co-workers - Honest sales process and setting up our clients for success - Free food and lunches - Gym allowance - Stand up and sit down desks - Best Management and CEO ever! They are approachable - music is on point Bottom line is the job is not for everyone- it's not an easy gig! But if you have the right attitude and work ethic you can make money. Who said making 6 figures would be easy? You must be be eager to learn and push yourself everyday.

Cons

Honestly not much I can think of... They treat third people well! Best company I have ever worked for period. I love my job
