Pros

I absolutely adore this company as a whole. The benefits it has provided for me and my children are unmatched.The atmosphere is incredible and the income potential is unlimited. Best of all the product works and I've seen it changed lives for both friends and family in the real estate business. That in itself is a very difficult thing to find especially in Orange County

Cons

Like any rapidly growing company I think they need to pay more attention to what drives revenue. Don't forget the little guys on the phones pushing the cart ;)

Thank you for your review. Sounds like you are in our Irvine office where we have about 200 people who work very hard every day to help our advertising real estate agents be successful. We also have an important product development team in Irvine that builds software for real estate agents. Thank you for doing what you do, and for contributing positively to the work culture here at Zillow.

Thank you for the great review. You have a very hard job - you are on the front lines of our interactions with our users. Frequently, consumers who contact us are upset about something -- their home's Zestimate, or how their house appears on Zillow. I am grateful to you and your team for the hard work that you do. I know that you make a big difference in our success because if you are able to give our users a positive experience, that creates positive word of mouth for Zillow and makes our investments in product development and advertising even more effective. So thank you!

Pros

Zillow is a great company to work for. Salaries are competitive and they make a strong effort to keep them fair as well as even with the market. Zillow is also very fair with raises and stock equity grants. As far as personal growth, Zillow encourages you in its core values to Own It. You get ahead at Zillow by owning big projects, taking big swings, and succeeding at them. Zillow as a large company is also very generous. Every year employees get a very cool gift that has a purpose, to make us better at our jobs. Last year was FitBits (good health means good work), this year it was Kindle Fires (smarter employees are better employees).

Cons

Zillow has historically been weak on training, but that is changing quickly. I think the biggest con is that it can be difficult to be in an office other than main headquarters, and can also be difficult to work on a business that is not the core real estate/for sale business.
