Pros

- Some of the co-workers are really nice and helpful people - Good learning opportunity but only if you work for a team with a modern tech stack - In office snacks were nice

Cons

- No growth opportunities or only limited to people who managers personally like (nepotism/politics) - Low compensation compared to ongoing inflation especially in 2022, their stock also crashed below the grant price - Manager’s expectations from developers are unrealistic - A lot of attrition after recent layoffs and management is doing nothing to prevent it - The upper management shows in meetings that everything is going perfect and everyone is so happy whereas the reality is different, employees are not happy

The WLB is amazing and pushed by upper management. I feel respected as a remote employee, and don’t want to leave because Zillow is very good at this

Cons

Direction isn’t very good. ZO layoffs were brutal, although as an engineer I had job security here
