      Great company

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life balance, good pay and benefits. Small, agile teams with a lot of product freedom to development what we think improves the overall product

      Cons

      The only real con is that the dev stack can be a little complicated and there is still a bit of legacy code to manage

      I appreciate you taking the time to provide some feedback. I'm especially happy that you feel our small product team model is working well for you and your team. Work life balance and good benefits are also important. After 10 years, there are some teams dealing with more code history than others. We encourage our teams to work with the various stack groups (java, python, ux, build/deploy, etc) to help us plan our ongoing investments and migration in our core technologies. Teams should also be investing in their own services by building time into their project plans to address this tech debt as we build new services or make significant enhancements. Additionally, we are working to create more independence across teams with investments in core tooling and creating more micro-services and minimize dependencies to the areas where they are truly need. I'm pleased with the progress we are making, but of course there is more to do. If you or others on your team would like to get more involved in these efforts, please track me down and I can connect you with the right people. Thanks again for your feedback and hard work. We are only successful because of the great work of our people and we need them driving these improvements. David Beitel, Zillow Group CTO.

      Do cool stuff

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture. This includes cool events like “Hackweek,” a week-long event held three times a year where we get to work on our own projects. Happy hours, team building events, game room, cook-offs, etc. Smart people. Continually impressed by my colleagues. Interesting work. This is because of the company size: small enough to make an impact but large enough to be secure. Great management (this is huge!). I personally see little politics within the team. Lots of autonomy. Hours are okay. No need to work every weekend.

      Cons

      Pay and benefits very below average for industry. No annual bonus (at least in my org). Stock tanked, leaving some employees with worthless options. It's a big source of discontent and the reason why some have left or are leaving for companies next door like Amazon, Google, Tableau. Unclear path for advancement within the company. No training. Employees are expected to learn on their own outside of work hours.

      Pros

      -Benefits package is unreal -Happy Hours -Comp Plan (ability to make 6 figures your first year) -Company holiday trip to Seattle once a year -Transparency - Working for the #1 company in the industry - Tons of Spiffs to keep me motivated - Leaders are in the trenches, they want us to succeed - Coaching constantly - Fun work environment - Smart and talented co-workers - Honest sales process and setting up our clients for success - Free food and lunches - Gym allowance - Stand up and sit down desks - Best Management and CEO ever! They are approachable - music is on point Bottom line is the job is not for everyone- it's not an easy gig! But if you have the right attitude and work ethic you can make money. Who said making 6 figures would be easy? You must be be eager to learn and push yourself everyday.

      Cons

      Honestly not much I can think of... They treat third people well! Best company I have ever worked for period. I love my job
