Pros

Amazing senior management, great work-life balance, fun team building events, good benefits, transparent CEO, and an overall wonderful company.

Cons

Clique-ish and sorority-like behavior from lower level management. Company would rather offer ski passes as a benefit than consider tuition reimbursement.

Pros

The people are the best part #ZGisateamsport. Everyone is friendly, intelligent, smart, and hard-working. If you engage yourself with a holistic approach to your job, it will become a career for you #ownit. Zillowgroup gives you the tools to not only be successful within the company, but also gives you skills to be successful if you want to pursue another passion. The company truly cares about it's employees happiness, and is constantly striving to address our concerns. Nothing is ever "brushed under the rug" #turnonthelights. I trust my fellow coworkers, and the direction of the company because Zillowgroup works to do what's best for the company, individual employee, and the consumer #actwithintegrity. They give us great pay and benefits for the amount of work we do. Our office are full of amenities, food, games, and is constantly kept clean and safe. I couldn't imagine a better place to work.

Cons

The work can be repetitive at times and it's definitely a grind, but I think the only people who complain about those things are ones who aren't a great fit for the culture at Zillowgroup. Zillow takes "work hard, play hard" very seriously. We get spoiled with great benefits, events, and rewards for a job that in my opinion is not that difficult. I feel like most people who talk negatively about the company are those with a sense of entitlement and don't have the patience or work ethic to reach their desired goals. If you look at your job as a multi-year career and not "I need the raise and promotion I want after a year or I'm gonna quit", Zillowgroup will give you all the tools to be successful and reach your goal. There aren't a lot of cons if you are hard-working and see the big picture.
