Pros

Zillow's in a position to command a market sector, and is gradually developing a substantial internal services architecture that a junior or mid-level engineer can/should learn a lot from.

Cons

There's a strong culture of management/PM making feature/spec decisions and handing them off to developers to implement. Whether your ideas are listened to or not depends heavily on your job title.

Pros

1. Excellent knowledge transfer (dev and test seem to share information freely) 2. Low bureaucracy (no trivial meetings, micro-management free, flexible time) 3. Friendly people (definitely less than a 10% jerk rate!) 4. Plenty of opportunities 5. Awesome location (the views really are breathtaking) 6. Free bus pass

Cons

1. Low pay (if company never goes public -- not taking options into account, I estimate about a 20% lower salary than perhaps Microsoft and Amazon) 2. Benefits are mediocre at best 3. People might be starting to worry if zillow will go public (Are we hoping for this to happen in 1, 2, 3 , or more years?)
