Pros

This review is based off my experience at Zillow Irvine. Where do I start with the amount of pros I have in mind. I started off at Zillow group about a year and half ago. The experience thus far has been amazing! I have never been part of an organization that genuinely cares for its people. It all starts from very top from CEO all the way down to our floor leaders (managers) Financial opportunity- The financial opportunities are endless. We sell one of the greatest products in the industry. If you work hard and smart compensations are generous. Work culture- The thing I admire most about Zillow group is our work culture. This company puts its people first before anything, it truly believes that for it to continue to be an industry leader, it must treat its employees with respect, opportunity and growth and therefore it will attract the best talent around. Everything at Zillow group is about positivity, growth and professional development. Benefits, perks, parties etc- We have great benefits. Full medical coverage, fully stacked kitchen, great Christmas party (fly out to Seattle with airfare and hotel provided by the company)

Cons

I personally don't have any cons. If you respect your work environment and work hard. The potential is unlimited.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy you like the perks, but we’re obviously disappointed by the report of your other experiences. We work hard to select and train great managers, and to give people autonomy to do a great job. We also pride ourselves on creating and fostering a friendly and enjoyable work environment. If you can provide any specific feedback, I would really appreciate it (and maybe we can fix what your experiencing quickly). Please email me at tonys@zillowgroup.com or come by my desk at any time.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. One of StreetEasy's greatest assets is its data and the more smart people we have working with it and on it, the better for the consumer. I'm excited to see what the Data team will do in the coming months. We're certainly a bit jam-packed at the moment, but we'll be expanding our space soon enough to give people more room and some quiet areas. As for the snacks, we've got a lot of healthy ones :)!
