Pros

Work 4 days a week and have 3 day weekends. work with great people and have great teams.

Cons

Don't get to benefit from everything that Zillow offers. You are tied to the desk for 10 hours a day and ot's exhausting. There is not a lot of room for movement within the department and they don't encourage you to get to know the company. They want you to focus all your energy on the department without being able to learn anything else.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Great to hear you like the teams, people, and shifts. I'm sorry you feel tied to your desk. Our department provides an amazing service to thousands of consumers and real estate pro's every day, which means being readily available. We're very clear in recruiting that some shifts are 4 days a week, 10 hours a day (with an hour lunch and breaks of course) and the position involves doing many similar tasks per day. Regarding overtime, we offer that from time to time on a purely voluntary basis, and many of the teammates comment they like to opportunity to add to their paycheck. Feel free to contact me directly if you like to discuss further, happy to chat. Reach me at jrg@zillowgroup.com or grab me at my desk today.

Pros

This is a fantastic company for more reasons than I can even describe. ZG stands for amazing things that really sets up the employer for the best possible experience. Not only do I love my day to day tasks, but the people and the culture are truly something special and amazing. I came from a previous employer that did not treat employees well whatsoever, so seeing how ZG just does everything right is such a breath of fresh air. They really provide you with all the resources you need to succeed. If you want an extra training, ask. If you want more experience in something, ask. If you have a certain place you want to get to within the company, ask. All the managers are easy to talk to and are great at helping you reach your goals. They also are extremely transparent with their employees, or "leaving the lights on" as they say. They are huge on "power to the people" (another one of their missions that they strongly stand by). Denver has a really cool office and I have not met one person who is a jerk. It is truly amazing and I could go on forever!

Cons

I have not experienced any challenges or cons. Maybe too many snacks in the kitchen? Too many awesome food trucks? Too many catered lunches? ;)

So great to hear ZG continues to be a great experience for you! We work as hard on culture as you do taking great care of our customers. So keep up the good work! I'd love to hear your ideas on how we can elevate to the next level, so shoot me note with some big swings we should take (and I'll see you in Denver in a few weeks!). Reach me at jrg@zillow.com any time. -JR

Pros

•The management. No micromanagement at all, lots of freedom, and they really do treat you like family. After working for Zillow for a little while, I decided to go back to personal training in the Seattle area. It was one of the hardest decisions over ever made. When telling my managers about my choice, they fully supported my decision. They told me I would always be part of the Zillow family and that I'd always have a place here. •The employees. Again, family. Zillow has a long/tough interview process, and it shows. They pick out only the best. Everyone is so genuine and easy to get along with. •The benefits. Literally anything you need covered or helped with, they provide. •The candy wall...for obvious reasons.

Cons

I can't think of anything.

Great stuff, thank you for sharing. We were sorry to see you go, but glad you went for your passion! It's great to hear you thought the interview process was rigorous and that we pick top talent. We work very hard to recruit people who will enhance our culture and handle our customers with amazing skill and care. Good luck out there. Drop me a line and let me know what we can do to make Zillow even better jrg@zillowgroup.com -JR
