Pros

-Extremely transparent company, I always look forward to hearing how and what the company as a whole is working on. It's extremely important and meaningful to hear how your role fits into the company's overall vision and what other groups are learning or experimenting with. -You get to work on exciting products and there is so much room for improvement and new ideas yet to test. Zillow has maintained it's start up mentality in a good way as it's grown. -No matter your position, your opinion matters and is listened to. -Inspiring, humble and approachable servant leadership. -Women are in many high level positions and they actively support and encourage women in tech -Great work/life balance -Collaborative, warm and fun culture. The recent Engineer in Training day for kids was awesome and they have a ton other events on a monthly basis. Especially like the Ztalks where we have executives from other companies come to talk to our employees. -Incredible benefits (especially the increased maternity benefits and increased 401k match)

Cons

-Salary for tech jobs seems like it needs to be more competitive to compete in Seattle's market. I worry about losing some of our great developers to other companies. -Stock options are basically worthless, we need to switch to RSUs.

Pros

Great benefits, good location and people are friendly. Lunches and snacks provided along with parties for bonding.

Cons

Management not trained well. Don't seem to value consistent employees any more than flaky ones. Not a lot of room for advancement.

Pros

Fantastic culture, great benefits, nearly unlimited room for personal growth, and great work/life balance. Beyond building up each employee and truly investing time and efforts in them, Zillow provides an atmosphere that makes you want to be there and work hard as the company is doing the same for us. We just recently had "Engineer in Training Day" which allowed us to bring our children in to work (it was synched up with a school holiday too). There were over 250 kids from ages 3 to 18 and the event was so much fun and so well organized. My 5 year old absolutely loved it and I did too. Zillow also brings in guest speakers to help widen our views and learn what it takes to be highly successful.

Cons

Come here and try to find some, I haven't found any cons so far... pay is competitive, benefits are great, atmosphere is fun while not missing the goal of growing and improving to become a better website/product.
