Pros

Work/Life Balance - Never expected to work ridiculous hours. Tough Mudder. Talent Show. Happy Hours. Morale Events. I never watch the clock while I'm at work. Everyone here is intelligent and hard-working without a political "let me take credit for that" attitude. I've always been trusted to do good work and given the credit for my contributions without feeling cheated or taken advantage of. Hackweeks! Zillow wants me to succeed, so I want us to succeed.

Cons

No dogs allowed! Though our CEO has conveyed a personal wish for dogs, the building won't allow it which is a bummer. Maybe someday if we occupy enough floors!

Thank you so much for the great comments. I am so glad you have found a place to call home, be part of a great team, contributing to our products, working hard and having fun. That's really what it is all about. And, I do have to say that I really enjoy the Hackweeks. It is impressive to see the great product ideas, features and engineering tools that come out of those weeks. As a recently new owner of the most awesome French Bulldog, Milo, I have to agree with you that I wish we could bring our dogs to work. Maybe some day. :-) Keep up the great work, and if you ever want to provide any comments to me directly or ask any questions about our engineer efforts or company, please stop by. - David Beitel, CTO Zillow Group #ZGisaTeamSport

Great Culture

Pros

The best thing about working at Zillow Group is the culture. A very transparent, forthcoming and proactive culture prevails across all of the teams I've worked with. This company really values initiative and provides resources to pursue ideas.

Cons

The company rightly celebrates its benefits package, but it is my belief that they are not quite competitive at base compensation given what peer organizations are paying in New York City.

Thank you for your feedback. I am happy to hear you enjoy our transparent and innovative culture. We review compensation on a regular basis however if you have questions or concerns about the pay in NYC, I invite you to reach out to me, your manager or HR Business Partner to discuss this directly. - Stan Humphries, Chief Analytics Officer, Zillow Group

Consistently on "best places to work" lists for good reason!

Pros

Zillow Group is consistently on several "best places to work" lists and for very good reasons. I have been with several organizations throughout my professional career and Zillow Group has hands-down done more for me than anywhere else I've worked. First off, the culture is second-to-none. From free food and beverages on a daily basis to incomparable perks and bonuses, Zillow Group truly has an amazing culture. The leadership, starting with Spencer Rascoff on down, the management, and the employees make it a truly great place to work! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic career opportunity! Benefits packages offered are literally the best I have ever seen throughout my professional career. I can honestly say I look forward to going there each and every day and contributing to my team and the organization as a whole!

Cons

Being a tech-based company, you must constantly change and adapt to stay ahead of the competition. Our CEO, Spencer says that if you get complacent, you will get blindsided by the competition. With that said, change is the only constant at Zillow group. If you are flexible and adaptable, it is a very fun, exciting, and challenging atmosphere, but if you prefer the status quo and do not do well with change, it would most certainly not be a good fit.

And you nailed it, we do #movefastthinkbig like one of our core values, so people like yourself who love change and want to be a PART of something big...tend to do well here. Thanks again and best wishes for continued success. Greg Bland, VP Sales & Denver Site Director
