Pros

1) Leadership is fantastic 2) Work is challenging 3) Coworkers are authentic and caring 4) Massive opportunity for growth 5) Benefits are getting better --- namely, 401k match, maternity leave

Cons

I truly love working at Zillow. As the company grows, there is certainly a bit more red tape and process. This can be challenging. However, leadership is aware of this and makes an effort to combat this.

Thank you for the review. Yes, I am definitely aware of the challenges that we face as we grow. And I am committed to minimizing red tape and process (except where helpful!). We have to remain nimble and keep acting like a startup in order to stay ahead. I've always said that "startup" is a state of mind. A company doesn't stop being a startup when it reaches a certain size; it stops being a startup when it stops moving quickly. I think that Zillow, despite being > 1000 employees, can and will still act like a startup -- move fast, think big (one of our Core Values).

Hands Down the Best Job I Have Had.

Pros

The people are smart and driven. Problems are tackled collaboratively and successes are celebrated before the next goal is tackled. I love that an environment of continual learning is encouraged, from bringing in speakers to sharing tech and industry info via email. I feel like work-life balanced is encouraged as people seem focused on work at work, and then communication slows way down after 5pm and on the weekends. It is great!

Cons

I can't think of one at this time.

Pros

Where do I start... Zillow is a complete 180 from my last employer and I have to say that coming here has been one of the best decisions I've made in my career. - Transparency: As an employee, I feel like I'm really in the "know" with where the company is headed/what's going on. This is incredibly valuable. - Fun: The work culture is genuinely fun and engaging. Teams celebrate wins together, and there have been great culture events to keep everyone happy and motivated. - Work/life balance: This was really lacking in my previous job, and I'm happy to say that I've been able to maintain a healthy balance between work and my home life. This isn't important to everyone, but it is definitely important to me. I feel like a person again! - Benefits: AWESOME benefits, especially for those with a family. I feel like I have learned a lot and have had great exposure to folks from all levels of experience. It's a flat organization without red tape, and the conversations I have with my peers are open and honest.

Cons

Getting started was a little slow due to lack of training in my department, but I'm the type that learns by doing anyway so it didn't take long to hit the ground running.

Hi, Spencer here. Thank you for your review. I am really happy that you are enjoying your Zillow experience in our Seattle office. I agree that we could be doing a better job of employee training. This is something we are working on, and our relatively new "Learning & Development" organization will improve this in 2015. Thanks for the feedback!
