      Pros

      The posts about AWS culture infiltrating Zillow must be pretty team or person specific, as I've seen nothing but leaders who really care about their teams and the business. Middle managers can often drag down morale and culture - and working remote makes that hard to see/fix. But generally, the culture and support at Zillow is WAY better than any other tech company I've worked at (or heard about from friends). Fully remote with decent benefits and people who generally care about each other is fantastic (and hard to find in today's market). For those complaining about bad culture - I'd suggest you look at another role in another org, you might be pleasantly surprised the ZG people first culture is still strong.

      Cons

      Fully remote makes it hard to get the right visibility and promotions and ratings are unfortunately tied to whether senior leaders see your work and know who you are. You have to make an effort to be "seen" and that's hard to do remote. The news cycle is noisy with lawsuits, but I think a lot of that is because we're a big name with a big target on our back. A judge just ruled in Zillow's favor, against Compass.

      Dead end and dying culture

      Pros

      Prior to recent times it had good pay and prospects, but I would be hard-pushed to find a pro right now.

      Cons

      Morale has fallen off a cliff with large performance layoffs this year under a “raising the bar” banner, demanding more for less. This decimation has gutted the culture. If backfilling happens, it’s with off-shore workers who get half the pay at most. AI vision is the worst I’ve heard of, they absolutely despise their tech workers and can’t wait to not have them in the loop at all. Pay has stagnated, refreshers were overpriced, promotions are no where to be seen outside of management. This is not a career role anymore which is unfortunate as it was once very good.

      Has become toxic and political

      Pros

      Stellar remote work environment with ability to come together as a team fairly often. Pay is fair.

      Cons

      Many AWS transplants have brought over the toxic mentality. You’ll be stabbed in the back and get many fake agreement. Overall lost identity I’d say.
