Pros

Zillow is a great place to work. The company has a set of core values, and I feel that the employees from executive level down live those values. Some highlights of Zillow: - Transparency: If there is a new project or big move happening, leadership let's us all know - Opportunity: Leadership does an excellent job of helping us make a clearly defined career path and giving us the necessary steps to get there - Trust: We are all encouraged to run with our big ideas, and if they don't work, we're not scolded. Our leaders help us assess what went wrong and how to be more successful next time. Management believes that we're all competent and working here for a reason, so they trust in our ideas.

Cons

- The pay (at least in my org) is barely livable. People who have college degrees are only starting at $40,000 a year, which is incredibly hard to live on in Seattle. - Growing pains: My team is growing fast, and that causes some small struggles.

Hi, thanks for your feedback! It's great to hear leadership helps you grow, transparency is important to you and we're doing it well, and that the core values are working. Regarding pay, I’m sorry you’re not satisfied. We regularly do market analyses on our roles. These take into account many factors including a job’s scope, tasks, level of complexity, experience required, geography, industry, and company size. We’re routinely recognized nationally and locally for being a great place to work, and believe our compensation and benefits packages are highly competitive. I'm happy to discuss in person any time. Feel free to reach out to me directly jrg@zillow.com. -JR
