Pros

Growing company with lots fun perks voted best place to work multiple years in a row Incredible benefits - life changing benefits also voted some of the best Strong Executive leadership who i have faith will continue to navigate Zillow into an even powerful brand. Many of the recent glass door reviews seem to be negative or talking about poor leadership however in my 6 years at working at this company i could not have been surrounded with better talent and leaders who care. the other GM's in Denver are world class leaders and even the GM's across the rest of the company - i was/am proud to have called this place home as should the current employees at ZG. this company is just starting to scratch the tip of its potential and i cant wait to see what comes in the future! I am very proud of my time with ZG and i know anyone looking for a great place to learn and grow this would be an incredible opportunity!

Cons

yes, a lot of change has taken place but if you take a look back as i have, all the past changes have been the right move. change is never easy but its necessary in a growing company - i expect Denver to lead from the front and voice there concerns in a professional manner.

Pros

When you give your very best you to Zillow, they give their best right back at you. The management team listens and pays close attention to what you have to offer, to see how they can help provide support and encouragement, to grow within the company. The doors are always open! Everyone works hard to collaborate on building the best user experience that we can but we also taking time out to play a few rounds of ping-pong or grab a free snack (fruit, chips, pretzels, carrots, hard boiled eggs, hummus, jelly beans, mini-candy bars, the you-name-it it's-on-the-candy-wall candy, nuts, trail mix, yes..Zillow provides all of that...everyday!). Our office fosters creativity and brain space with so many relaxing rooms/window seats/kitchens/libraries to work, take a break, or just enjoy the amazing views!

Cons

Just that all of my friends are jealous!

Pros

Benefits - that's about it

Cons

The Denver Office used to be one of the best places to work at in Denver. The vibe was awesome, the people used to be great...now everyone is just like robots. People are getting walked out left and right. Gone are the days of creativity...and collaboration. All you have to do is just smile and say yes to your leader (Schwartz, Amy...we're talking to you here) and you'll have long term career potential with this company. And God help the ex-Trulia employees.....you all are doomed. Even Pete bailed off of the board.....hello red flag!

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Zillow Group. Being someone who comes from the Trulia side myself, I must say your assessment is counter to my personal experience and the experience of many others who joined Zillow Group during the 2015 merger. Regarding creativity and collaboration, we drive that daily within each office and have made impressive strides in driving that focus between offices. It sounds like your experience has been different and I would like to hear more about it. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at stevec@zillowgroup.com. Best of luck with your future endeavors. Steve Capezza - Vice President, Premier Agent Sales
