Pros

Leadership is exceptional -- smart, strategic, genuinely care about their teams and the mission of the organization. The people here are unlike anywhere else. Talk to any former or current employee at Zillow and they will all say their favorite part of working here is the people. Folks have incredible integrity, creative vision, strategic chops -- they are the real deal and great friends as well. Some of my best friends came from working here and we still stay in weekly contact. The mission is incredible -- helping Americans find a place to live. It's one of the basic necessities of life and truly rewarding.

Cons

Cons are small and not worthy of mention.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
