Pros

Strong focus on personal development Living the core values Transparent, effective leadership

Cons

Compared to other tech companies, you'll spend a lot more time dealing with messy people data. That's not a con for me, but is a con for others

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, and I'm so happy that you so readily see our core values demonstrated in daily work life here. We've definitely found that personal development, particularly skill development, is highly valued by our analytic teams given the fast pace of tech and methodological change. While we do a lot of such development already in a variety of ways (tech reviews, paper reads, learning academies, focused training on Spark/Python, hackweeks, leadership/mgr training, etc.), we'll be doing even more in 2019 and beyond (as you've probably heard via our team meetings). I'm not entirely sure of what the "messy people data" that you refer is, but please let me know if something is messier than it should be or if there's a better way to be tackling problems in your particular area here at Zillow. We're always open to new ideas! Thanks again and happy to have you on the team. - Stan Humphries

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. One of StreetEasy's greatest assets is its data and the more smart people we have working with it and on it, the better for the consumer. I'm excited to see what the Data team will do in the coming months. We're certainly a bit jam-packed at the moment, but we'll be expanding our space soon enough to give people more room and some quiet areas. As for the snacks, we've got a lot of healthy ones :)!
