Pros

strikes perfect balance between startup mentality and fun with responsibility of a publicly traded company. great benefits. incredible views at their downtown office. likes to promote people from within, many opportunities to advance. upper management is accessible and available at any time to talk to, including the CEO. as long as it makes sense on paper, both logistically and financially, the company will accept any ideas and improvements from any employee, no matter what position they hold.

Cons

some departments need some restructuring as new positions are created with the changing of the professional world. need to improve interoffice communication between Zillow and their other companies (Trulia, StreetEasy, HotPads, etc.)
