      Best Tech Company I Have Ever Worked For

      Pros

      My manager is amazing and genuinely invested in our work and lives. I get to work with execs and share my projects when it is applicable, despite only being a coordinator. There's very little red-tape or protocols that block people lower on the food chain from contributing meaningfully and sharing their work and projects with execs. Most importantly there is support throughout the company for having work/life balance. I live over and hour commute from the Seattle office and I never feel pressured to stay late and miss my train. We are treated like adults and trusted to get our jobs done. It is a great place to work, not just because of the perks, but because of the respect and support we get from our managers and execs. Highly recommend!

      Cons

      I think it depends on your job, but I have had some trouble developing in my role because it didn't exist before I came on. However, this has allowed me a lot of input and ownership over defining what I want the role to be.

      Pros

      -Extremely transparent company, I always look forward to hearing how and what the company as a whole is working on. It's extremely important and meaningful to hear how your role fits into the company's overall vision and what other groups are learning or experimenting with. -You get to work on exciting products and there is so much room for improvement and new ideas yet to test. Zillow has maintained it's start up mentality in a good way as it's grown. -No matter your position, your opinion matters and is listened to. -Inspiring, humble and approachable servant leadership. -Women are in many high level positions and they actively support and encourage women in tech -Great work/life balance -Collaborative, warm and fun culture. The recent Engineer in Training day for kids was awesome and they have a ton other events on a monthly basis. Especially like the Ztalks where we have executives from other companies come to talk to our employees. -Incredible benefits (especially the increased maternity benefits and increased 401k match)

      Cons

      -Salary for tech jobs seems like it needs to be more competitive to compete in Seattle's market. I worry about losing some of our great developers to other companies. -Stock options are basically worthless, we need to switch to RSUs.

      Pros

      Hard to beat the insurance and perks, love that my position is remote.

      Cons

      Weird division between PTO and sick time (though the policy is still pretty generous), climbing the ladder is extremely difficult (they boast that it's harder to get a position at Zillow than get into an Ivy League school), the company talks a big game about being progressive, but really only does the bare minimum and does a lot of false equivocating. Going through the Zillow Offers scandal and shut down was extremely disheartening and made me feel like management and the C level folks are not to be trusted. I've only stayed because I have not found anything better yet, and this really isn't any different that shenanigans to be found at other companies. There's no major corruption or anything as far as I can tell, but don't let Zillow convince you they care about their employees more than their bottom line. If you consider that all as equal, then yeah, Zillow is a great place to work.
