Pros

It was good in the beginning. I felt a sense of pride working at Zillow, as that meant I could help people find their homes. I felt I could make a difference by presenting new ideas that could help move the needle.

Cons

Constant changes and constant reshuffling of vision. Once you think the new vision is for the long-term, it changes in a few months and you have to click on the restart button. Additionally, there's been a handful of layoffs, where individuals whom I considered a backbone were let go but those who were the bottlenecks stayed put somehow. It was impossible to get things done. You were responsible for "keeping the lights on," but you were expected to come up with new ideas. However, once you present those ideas in briefs, you're bombarded with back-and-forth questions of "What about this? and "What about that?" Even the structure of how to fill out the brief confused the entire team, as one person would do it one way and another would do it another way.
