      Pros

      Zillow is, so far, the best company I've had the pleasure to work for. They really stand behind their words with actual action. If people aren't satisfied with something, they listen, discuss, and take necessary action. They provide many avenues to voice your opinion, which empowers you as an employee and as a stakeholder in the company itself. Culture isn't something they just talk about. They live it day in and day out by being active philanthropically, engendering a culture of respect, and providing avenues to unwind at work and outside of work. Although Zillow is a large company, we still get plenty of opportunities to work with cutting-edge technology. There are hardly days where I feel like my team is stagnated or that I feel like technology is leaving us behind. The teams here aren't scared to work with bleeding-edge tech, and making mistakes or failing big is a part of the culture, not something frowned upon. To summarize, if you're looking for a company that stands behind what they say and provides a challenging, yet fun place to work then Zillow is where you want to work.

      Cons

      I've been here for almost a year and so far I can't really pinpoint anything as a downside. The work-life balance is great. The culture, coworkers, and management make day-to-day work a pleasure.

      One Year In and it Keeps Getting Better

      Senior database developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Too many specifics to list here, especially without parroting all of the others - outstanding health benefits, discretionary time off (huge for new hires who don't have to wait for years to accumulate time off), morale events, interesting speakers, and the list goes on. The biggest pro is leadership that truly listens to its employee base. In the year I have been here Zillow has stepped up in offering a more aggressive 401k package, top-notch health benefits, more competitive pay scale, option of RSUs vs. options, DTO vs. PTO, and so much more. Every enhanced benefit is in direct response to the collective voice of the personnel. Bottom line - employees are treated as adults and allowed to perform at a high level.

      Cons

      My position is one of the few still typically still occupied by Boomers in a house full of Millenials, so for those fortunate enough to qualify for a position here later in one's career you better be young at heart to keep up.

      Pros

      Very upbeat environment. I've had other jobs and what I love the most about this job is how they show their appreciation for you. Two lounges filled with free food and drinks, pool table, ping pong, basketball, constant food being catered in. The Zillow 15 is real! Decent lunch break and you don't have to ask if you need to take a break. All upper management has been super helpful and readily available to help whenever you need it. They also have a casual dress code which is amazing. I love being able to dress comfortably to work. $75 monthly gym reimbursement, elevating desks, great benefits, etc. The company is always changing and moving forward. I was a career changer and this job has been super refreshing for me!

      Cons

      I would say the biggest con is the scheduling. Unfortunately with this particular department it's just how it is right now. Real Estate does a lot of their business during the weekends and evenings so there's a high chance you will be working those shifts. The department is growing so you never know what kind of flexibility or different opportunities that could bring in the future.

      Thanks for the nice and thoughtful review! I'm glad you're really enjoying the job, including the benefits, environment, and team leads. What you're doing is incredibly important for our customers, agents, and the business overall. Yes, scheduling can be challenging in this role - thank you for the direct feedback. As our systems get better, our scheduling flexibility may get better as well (though might take some time.) I'll pass the feedback along, though to make sure we have this on our radar. Thanks again and feel free to send any additional feedback you'd like to share to me at tonys@zillow.com.
