Pros
You will love every aspect of your life at Zillow from the ongoing training classes, to the personal development training's, to requests for your thoughts/input, to the exciting culture, and of course...all of the free snacks. Working at Zillow feels fun and inclusive. Your thoughts matter and are valued. We have motorized stand-up desks, we have treadmill desks, and we even have a 17th floor outdoor deck that you can work on.
Zillow provides coffee, but not just drip coffee! We can choose from americanos, espresso shots, lattes, and cappuccinos.We have our choices of cereals and fruit, yogurt, cheese, and hummus, chips, pretzels, and popcorn, and yes...we really do have a fully stocked candy wall.
Zillow brings in industry speakers for lunch hours and yes, lunch is provided. It gives us the opportunity to hear what is working for their company or campaign and how they are "doing it". People such as Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Jamie Nordstrom, and Arianna Huffington. We've even had a Seahawks player come speak to us.
We have core values and Zillow stands behind all 6 of them in every aspect of the company. We talk about them at every meeting and we live them every day.
Zillow embraces culture by hosting Halloween parties with costume contests, Zoktoberfest, Mariners outings, sponsoring Tough Mudder (which Spencer Rascoff joined in for!), we even have a game room with video games and ping pong, and we all get FitBits to encourage taking the stairs.
Also, Zillow pays for your public transportation (ORCA card) and pays for your health insurance!
We have modern decor and STUNNING views of the Puget Sound, Cascade Mountain Range, Olympic Mountain Range, Mt Baker, and Mt Rainier.
Everyone here is approachable and helpful. You will look forward to coming to work and you'll never hate staying late now and then. You want to work at Zillow!
Cons
I do not have a con about working a Zillow. I smile, ever day, in the elevator on the way up to my floor.
