Pros

Input is incouraged and often implemented upon across the organization. Benefits are really strong, even for the Seattle tech community. Focus on career advancement is the strongest I've ever experienced in a company.

Cons

Growing pains are evident, especially when it comes to process and procedures (or sometimes lack thereof). However, as eluded to in the pros, the ability to help shape the direction of future goals and drive future success is a strong mitigating factor to this. Ownership is a requirement here. Not necessarily a con, but a heads up to anyone who just wants to just wants to sit at a desk and execute on an already delivered plan, that won't always exist here. For people who want to help shape the future of a team, this is honestly a plus.

Pros

I've been at Zillow Denver for over 6 years and really enjoy what we do here. The people in the office are incredible and treat each other like family. Things are constantly changing, so the job never gets stale. We have a very respectful, talented and strategic leadership team in place, an unbelievable group of salespeople, and a support staff that any organization would be jealous of. From IT, to customer care, and our newer group of client engagement specialists all the way around are top notch. I've seen this office grow from a baby with 22 employees to one of the most amazing employers in Denver with around 500 currently. We have grown a lot as a company and are just getting stronger and more innovative. It's been a fun and interesting journey and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Cons

I cant think of anything off the top of my head

Thank you for the great review and, more importantly, thank you for your years of contribution to Zillow Group. Your insight into change is a good one. When you become part of the Zillow Group team, you sign up for innovation and change. To me, that is one of things that makes it fun and it looks like you feel the same way. Feel free to give me more feedback when I am in Denver or shoot me an email at stevec@zillow.com. Thank you again for the review. Steve Capezza - Vice President, Premier Agent Sales.

Pros

Never have I ever felt so appreciated. The openness, transparency and communication to employees is core to Zillow and it shows. Individuals, departments and teams are encouraged to swing for the bleachers and move things forward at warp speed. Zillow is changing the real estate industry, and it is fascinating to be a part of it.

Cons

Sometimes in the moving so fast, we don't take the time to give proper shout outs or credit to those that worked hard on a project, or communicate cross-company about changes.

Thank you for the review and I'm glad you are happy here! And you are right, even when moving fast and taking big swings we should always take the time to give recognition to those who are making it happen. If you have specific ideas on ways we can do this better at a leadership level, I'd love to hear - feel free to reach out to me 1:1. - Amy (COO)
