      Be ready to leave it all on the field!

      Pros

      There are many perks that I appreciate, 401k, Stock Options, Great Medical Benefits , smart people to work with and helpful Managers.I am really impressed with the company transparency. You can walk up to Mr Rascoff the CEO and have a conversation with him whenever he visits Irvine office. Our Leader John B. is great, always willing to roll up his sleeves and get in the trenches with his employees . Also I like working for the #1 company in our industry! You do work hard no doubt but when you finish your work day you know you gave all you had for that day and that is very gratifying for me!

      Cons

      As a older employee (in my 50's) I sometimes struggle with technology and speed (although I must say my Manger is always ready to help) Also I have been penalized for not hitting call time everyday, but its part of the job requirement and is a proven success formula.

      Best job I've had

      Front end software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I've been a software developer for almost 10 years, including 2+ years at Amazon. Zillow is the best job I've ever had. Zillow treats you like a highly valued employee, not just a cog in a machine. The real estate space has great potential for disruption, and Zillow is positioned perfectly to take advantage of it. Work hours are reasonable. I leave my work at work. No work email on my phone, no pager. There's catered lunches at least once a month. Free snacks and soda and cereal and milk every day. There's a game room with Foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, Xbox and N64. People play games daily for a short break from writing code (Mario Kart and Smash Bros are huge). The CEO and the Founder interact with employees and are very personable. Teammates are smart and generous with their time to help new hires ramp up. Ramping up to speed does not take as long as at other companies.

      Cons

      There is no 401(k) match.

      Pros

      Great benefits and beautiful building

      Cons

      The organization has not figured out how to grow. They do not want process in place to slow down their rapid speed but need it desperately to support growth. Generally the right arm doesn't know what the left arm is doing. People will jump so quickly into action with a new idea that it doesn't matter the amount of money or energy they put into this idea. The company is not data driven in it's business decisions. There is not software in place to help the company scale and everything on the business side is done manually and with tons of pain. They are not ready to be a mature company.

      I am disappointed to read your feedback. I do agree with sentences like this though: "They do not want process in place to slow down their rapid speed but need it desperately to support growth." That is our conundrum - trying to stay nimble and with all the benefits of a small company, while still benefiting from the resources of a large company. Threading this needle is my #1 priority for 2014 personally, and for the company. On the product side of the company, I am trying hard to keep our teams as small as possible which I think helps a lot, and to empower PTLs and others at that level to be as autonomous as possible. I wish some of your feedback was more specific and actionable. If you want to follow up on any of this, please feel free to reach back out to me via email and we'll set up a call or meeting, or to anyone in HR (e.g., Kathleen, Annie, Corina). It says here that you're a "former employee" but if you want to make Zillow better for those you've left behind, I would always like to learn from experiences like yours. ------------------------------- Spencer Rascoff CEO, Zillow Inc. 1301 2nd Avenue, 31st Floor Seattle WA 98101 Twitter: @spencerrascoff
