Do cool stuff

Pros

Great culture. This includes cool events like “Hackweek,” a week-long event held three times a year where we get to work on our own projects. Happy hours, team building events, game room, cook-offs, etc. Smart people. Continually impressed by my colleagues. Interesting work. This is because of the company size: small enough to make an impact but large enough to be secure. Great management (this is huge!). I personally see little politics within the team. Lots of autonomy. Hours are okay. No need to work every weekend.

Cons

Pay and benefits very below average for industry. No annual bonus (at least in my org). Stock tanked, leaving some employees with worthless options. It's a big source of discontent and the reason why some have left or are leaving for companies next door like Amazon, Google, Tableau. Unclear path for advancement within the company. No training. Employees are expected to learn on their own outside of work hours.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you are generally happy here. We are taking a comprehensive view of market comp at annual review this year, and I'm interested to hear how you feel about compensation after this. Feel free to reach out to me directly, or address here. Making sure people feel appreciated and fairly compensated is very important to us! Best -- Amy (COO)

Great Company, Great People, Great Benefits

Pros

Everything. My boss is awesome, my boss's boss is awesome, ... the CEO is awesome. The views are amazing, the free food/snacks/drinks are great, and the benefits are great. I'm surrounded by smart people, and am constantly learning. Little red-tape and no business politics allow for us to immediately benefit the company and have a huge impact. I love my job. -p.s.: there are treadmill desks, a candy wall, ping pong tables, and a video game room!

Cons

From what I hear, it's pretty hard to make it in the Sales department. I'm more of a software developer, so we sort-of escape that kind of pressure. Also, we could use more bathrooms. But if that's the only complaint I can think of- I think Zillow is doing fine.
