Great Company, But Its Best Days Seem Behind It

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- The people are truly exceptional — collaborative, kind, and genuinely invested in doing great work. - Remote work flexibility is a huge plus and allows for strong work-life balance. - The mission of helping people find home is meaningful and something many of us feel deeply connected to.

Cons

- Pay and raises continue to lag behind industry standards. - Promotional opportunities are limited and often feel out of reach, regardless of performance. - The cost of benefits has noticeably increased. - As Zillow has grown larger and more profitable, the focus has unfortunately shifted from employee wellbeing to shareholder satisfaction.
