Pros

Relatively easy workload, no expectations to work more than 40 hours / week. Good stock options if you get a decent strike price. Great CEO.

Cons

Lackluster offices and compensation, relative to other tech companies of similar size. No remote flexibility. Weak design culture. Florescent cube farm / silent workplace can feel like Office Space.

Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear you didn't like our office space while you were here. It's hard to tell which location you are referring to, but it's not feedback we hear universally about our spaces - most employees love it here. If you'd like to provide more specifics I'd be happy to hear it in the effort to improve. Best of luck in your next adventure. - Amy (COO)

Pros

Popular Brand. Interesting industry. Room for improvement. Great parties. Industry leader. Growing. Diverse workplace. Nationwide. Multiple brands.

Cons

Basically another company that owes it's existence to Google Maps. Its a good company, but there are people doing cooler things with their time. Also, lots of typical tech bro culture and perhaps age bias.

Thanks for the review. We work hard to make sure that we're solving meaningful problems in the real world. Buying, selling, and renting are all important processes that impact millions of people but they all have plenty of room for improvement. If you have ideas -- even crazy ones -- on how to solve these big problems, I'd encourage you to leverage our quarterly innovation weeks to test them out. We've had a pretty good track record of graduating many of these ideas into projects that impact our millions of users. We pride ourselves on having and maintaining a diverse workplace. Hiring and retaining employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences drives our innovation and decision-making processes. With regard to your comment on our culture, I encourage you to connect with me or your HRBP to see if there is anything we can do to make Zillow Group an even better place to work. ZG is a Team Sport. Dan, VP Rentals
