Pros

I have enjoyed my experience at Zillow from Day 1. I feel valued, appreciated, and respected - all of which makes me look forward to coming to work. My team collectively feels appreciated, creating an all-around positive atmosphere compared to past workplaces where negativity can spread like a cancer. I am happy to call Zillow my home!

Cons

Hoping that there will be many more opportunities to grow in my career after a couple of years or so. Also, wondering if some excess benefits can be trimmed to instead make room for an annual bonus.

Pros

Great team to work with. Helpful, friendly atmosphere (ZG is a team sport) Challenging work Open environment. Your opinion is valued Love the communication from the management (turn on the lights) Fast paced work. Immediate impact (move fast, think big) and at the same time good work/life balance Excellent benefits. Free breakfast daily. Lunch and Happy hours every friday. Yoga onsite.

Cons

Commute from south/east bay is time-consuming and while Zillow does reimburse the cost, it would be great if they start shuttle services like other companies in the bay.

Thank you for the great review. Definitely hear you on commuting inconvenience. Perhaps someday, as we get even bigger, we can do this.
