Pros

Great environment, good perks, lunches on Fridays.

Cons

Very lateral company. Not much potential to move anywhere within the company but sideways.

Thanks for the review. Glad you like the environment and perks. We work hard to create a friendly/fun/collaborative culture. Thanks also for your comments on the "lateral"-ness of the company. We have lots of examples of people moving up (and way up) in the organization, though completely understood we could do better. Fortunately, we're actually working now on career/promotion paths to make this process easier and more broadly available. If you have any more specific feedback or concerns, feel free to reach out to me directly - tonys@zillow.com. Thanks again!
