Pros

Smart people who aren't jerks. Red vines. Tackling growth-related challenges, which totally beats dealing with the opposite kind of challenges.

Cons

Inherent startup risk, a bit stingy w/ stock options. Org chart constantly in flux, blurred ownership lines in certain business areas.

Pros

If your looking to work with the best this is the place. Initially Zillow hired too fast and the result was a lot of waste built on the 20/80 rule. However since the reorganization it's a company of superstars, all striving to create the premier Internet real estate site. Fair warning you don't walk in as a superstar because you made it through the interviews, your expected to prove yourself.

Cons

Salaries are based on equivalent positions at similar companies. The problem is this is in relation to avg salary of these positions. Most people at Zillow would fall on the far right hand side of the salary bell curve at any other company. From a financial perspective Zillow will need a high IPO or sale price for it's employees to be truly compensated for their work.
