Pros

Zillow has been everything it is depicted to be on Glassdoor and otherwise. The training was top notch and the support I've received is second to none. After being in advertising for 12 years at various media companies, I had not expected such a big change from what I'm used to. The company moves fast, thinks big, and values each of its employees. I feel more supported to succeed than ever before and I trust management and the executives to always do what's best for the team.

Cons

The only con I can think of is not something I see as negative. However, if you are not a team player, don't feed off high energy, and can't take feedback or constructive critiacism, zillow may not be for you.

Pros

Move fast thing big. If you aren't into moving quickly and thinking big picture about the future of the goals of this company, it's audience, and it's advertisers, don't bother. If you are a driven individual who believes in the huge forecasted picture of the company you exhaust yourself for, this is the place for you. Run by true professionals and amazingly smart people, Zillow Group has shaped my life over the last 3 years and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity it has presented my family and myself. The opportunity has provided me purpose, direction, and a feeling of gratification that we are moving the needle of introducing agents to consumers, mortgage lenders to consumers, etc. etc. five years from now when you google anything home related you can bet your last dollar it will be a Zillow Group owned site. If you want to be a part of the revolution, I suggest you do anything you can, as quickly as you can... to jump aboard. things are moving quick!

Cons

I unbiasedly cannot think of any
