dotloop reviews about "everyone"

I started at dotloop as one of the first 10 employees. Back then, it was a much different place to work...but that's not a good or bad thing. There were things I loved about working here then, and things that I love about working here now. When I started at dotloop, the CTO at the time took me under his wing and taught me everything I needed to know about development in order to succeed here. I literally went from knowing next to nothing, to being able to develop any feature or fix any bug that was asked of me. Dotloop absolutely made me who I am today, and for that I am definitely grateful. As for the company now, it's still an excellent place to work...but you can't expect the same level of personal development that I got. There are still an abundance of learning opportunities to be had here though, given that you put in the passion and effort to take a task and run with it...so don't be put off if you're an inexperienced developer. I think what I like the most about working at dotloop is the level of trust and respect that is given to us. Our team has a great track record in getting things done well and on time, and we are treated accordingly. There are no helicopter-bosses, there's no mandatory clock-in and clock-out time. We are all treated as passionate, intelligent individuals who are all collaborating together to make the dotloop dream come true. The team celebrates victories and learns from their failures together, and it feels like everyone is learning and growing from of one another so we can become better both as a company and as individual developers. From my experience, management will work with you to achieve any goal or area you want to improve in...as long as you're passionate about it and willing to put in the effort. Yes, sometimes that means working late, yes that sometimes means working on the weekend, or spending your free time developing a project to showcase your skills in order to advance...but if you're enjoying it, it's worth your time. In the past the company has struggled with keeping the promises they made, but that has ceased to be an issue in the last 1-2 years. If you want X position, and can spend the time proving that you're capable of delivering what's required of X position...management will take note and work with you on a plan to get you there.

The best reason to work at this company are your fellow coworkers. Everyone that I worked with was super nice, unique, and we all shared in the struggles of selling technology to people who didn't see the vision. For the most part, if you are performing and setting appointments with brokers, you are left alone and will not have anyone breathing down your neck. There is a high degree of autonomy in the workplace, and the freedom to build your pipeline is essentially up to you. The location is phenomenal (Longworth Hall) and you'll never have to worry about getting there on time or better yet, finding parking. The actual product that has brought the company to spotlight is definitely a success, and so if you are someone who believes in the power of technology to improve peoples lives, you'll see the benefits immediately once you understand how it works.

Culture; the mentality in the office is still very "startup" there is a passion for what we do and where we are going. I became part of the office after the Zillow Group acquisition and I think it is a great partnership, the core values of each company melded and now both companies are benefiting from the partnership. People; Great culture attracts amazing people. dotloop employees are some of the most passionate and forward thinking individuals I've come across. Leadership is very empowering and provide great feedback and welcome suggestions even from day one. When there is still that startup mindset everyone wants to see how big the company can grow. There is every opportunity to grow within the company and you are acknowledged for a job well down. It is hard to have a bad day at dotloop as everyone is very supportive and encouraging. Benefits; I personally took a large pay cut coming to dotloop but my work life balance and happiness in this working environment are worth more than any monetary value my previous employer could offer. The office provides snacks, coffee, and catered lunches (at least once a week). Free healthcare, retirement, stock options, and group activities make it clear that Zillow Group is heavily invested in maintaining and attracting the best talent. Environment; The office is a great space, and only getting better, even after Zillow Group purchased dotloop Austin Allison decided to more than double the office space in Cincinnati. We love this city and I love that dotloop decided to stay and reinvest, the offices are downtown without the hassle of finding parking or dealing with the majority of traffic.

I work out of the Cincinnati office, and I can say without a doubt that this is the best group of developers / technical team I have ever worked with. Everyone is incredibly talented, and management takes hiring very seriously, ensuring new hires are a great cultural fit. Everyone outside of the technical group is amazing as well. The attitude and overall atmosphere is always very light and energized, making for a truly great and enjoyable workplace. There's also a fully stocked snack bar, which I can't overlook as a really nice "pro". That's just the cherry on top though. Come for the people and environment, stay for all that plus the snack bar 😄
