Pros

I can honestly say that this is the BEST company to work for. No, I am not just saying that. I know that we recently went through a big merger with Trulia and Zillow, and it was very hectic at first. Now that things have slowed down, I can see why Zillow is the #1 real estate website and why employees love working here. Yes, with any large company, it's impossible to make everyone happy, but overall theme is that employees love coming to work, love what they do and Zillow treats everyone very WELL. Anyone that says different is either not working here anymore or not old enough to have a professional, business attitude, which should be required for any job you can make over 6 figures in. Here are a couple reasons why things are so great. First, compensation is world class. Given all the additional perks we receive here, subsidized medical premiums, free snacks and breakfast, GREAT PEOPLE, the best benefits ever offered and most of all, the best work hours you can ask for--those are what make Zillow so great. It baffles me, the negative comments some people put on here about this company. Those are probably former employees that haven't found another job or are so miserable in their new job, they have nothing better to do than to complain about a company they know NOTHING about. I am grateful for the opportunity given to me and I have been around in corporate America long enough to not squander it.

Cons

Only downside is: I wish significant others were allowed to attend award functions. I thought and thought about this and I honestly can't find another downside.

Thank you for this incredible feedback. It's great to hear how much you're enjoying it here (pretty great huh!). Good idea. We'll explore the idea of significant others attending key top performer events, our goals have been to try to keep them team oriented, but maybe we can mix it up every once in while. You nailed it, want to make a difference? Want to be a part of a great team? Want to have fun? Want to make some good $$? And don't mind working hard (only M-F too), with perks, perks, perks. This place is the real-deal. But, you're right, we have very high standards, on purpose to keep it amazing. So, any amazing people out there, please check us out and apply! Thanks again! Greg Bland

Pros

I've been in sales for over 20 years and have found that the overall experience at Zillow has been VERY rewarding and fulfilling. The culture is beyond compare and, if you know how to work hard, you are compensated very well for it. I'd recommend working for Zillow to any of my friends and family members without hesitation.

Cons

The only downside that I've found is that my significant other is not included in all of the award dinners/ etc that I've been able to attend. I love my fellow employees, but would rather spend that time outside of work with my wife . Not complaining about the awards, just would like to share in them with my wife.

Thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear you're enjoying your experience at Zillow so much. Especially since you've been around and can compare it to other opportunities...this means even more. And, great idea! Yes, starting this year, we will set aside at least one event in Denver to allow our Top Performers to bring a significant other to the recognition event. Thanks again for your feedback and I wanted you to know we listen. Have a great day! Greg Bland (VP/Site Director - Denver Zillow)

Pros

Awesome company, great people, great culture. I love everything about working here. Very excited to be a part of it

Cons

Need to come in early sometimes, stay late other times. Not really a con, just something I have never done before. But I'm proud to be a part of it

Spencer (CEO) here. Thank you for the great feedback. I'm glad you are having a good experience here. I love visiting the Denver office, which as you know, I do very frequently. The vibe in Denver is awesome, the team is motivated, and the results are extremely impressive. Thank you for your hard work.
