      "Not really a tech company"? Huh? That's a very odd statement, and disconcerting! True, we have hundreds of non-tech people. But we also have hundreds of tech people! We are a product-first organization, with more than a dozen semi-autonomous product teams working on tons of great features at all times. You are correct though, that we also have a lot of salespeople who work with real estate agents, but that's how we make money. In terms of culture, strategy, and DNA, we are most definitely a tech company.

      Pros

      The company has maintained a small company feel despite our rapid growth over the last three years. The people I work with are insightful, creative, and also really supportive and friendly. The work I do is challenging and recognition for great work is abundant. People are passionate about their work and it shows in the meetings and in the presentation of projects. The company is very transparent in its goals and processes, and knowledge sharing is encouraged. There is also a huge emphasis on work life balance, but people also recognize that sometimes those hours need to be put in to hit a deadline. I haven't had an issue with putting in those extra hours because in the long run it helps.

      Cons

      There are some big company politics that have creeped in subtly with the rapid hiring that we've done of people from the big boys in the area like Microsoft, Expedia, and Google, but most of it is squashed when they figure out how Zillow operates.

      Now we're talking! I liked your review very much. If you ever see politics at Zillow and you want me to stamp it out, please either talk to me or email me. If you want to do it anonymously, remember that if you go to the "Zillow Talk Blog" (our internal blog), you can send anonymous feedback which goes to me and to HR. 100% anonymous. Thank you!

      Thank you for the review. I'm glad you like the food and the view (me too). Sorry to read "average" in your title though. Hopefully we can do better for you in the future.
