Great place to work, but must be adaptable to change

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great benefits, by far the best I have seen in my working experience and they get better every year. 100% company paid healthcare, good maternity leave, paid transportation costs, unlimited snacks, unlimited time off, monthly happy hours and flexible work hours, which make for a great work life balance. The ability to travel for work to various offices is a great benefit and helps promote development and cross cultural learning. The leadership team is great, I love the transparency Spencer and team provide the employees.

Cons

This isn't necessarily a negative, but there has been so much change in such a little amount of time and I would say if you are someone who doesn't adapt well to change, it might not be the place for you. We move very fast here and I don't see that changing any time soon. The pay could be a little more competitive, it's hard to move up or get promoted in certain positions. I've also seen a pretty big discrepancy in pay between Zillow and Trulia employees for the same role.

Thanks for the nice review! We work hard to make Zillow Group a great experience, and I'm glad it's having an impact. As a Client Engagement Specialist, this is particularly critical as you're on the front lines and talk to agents and customers all day. Thanks again, and if you ever do experience a "con", please let me know. Tony Small - tonys@zillowgroup.com. Thanks!
