Pros

Free food, great people, laid back culture and atmosphere. The products are immeasurable and very easy to get to know in order to motivate and teach the public.

Cons

Not much availability to move around and/or up in the company quickly. I wish there was more motivational coaching to make more people leaders in the company.

Yes, it is a great company, but the treatment of some employees is troubling and very disturbing.

Pros

The perks are great. An environment that is enviable to most.

Cons

Upper management seems adamant about providing the best work environment for their employees and has put forth much time and energy into this matter. However, the reality of the situation doesn't match their assurances. For an employee to be publicly chastised with vulgar language is over the top -- especially when the situation does not warrant any kind of rebuke. It's understood that brilliant minds work at Zillow, but that doesn't automatically make them manager material.

Hi, Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately it's too vague for me to do much about. I don't tolerate an environment like the one you describe here. If possible, please let me or someone in HR know what you're referring to so we can address it. You can send anonymous feedback to me via our internal zillowtalkblog -- just open a browser inside of our firewall, type in "zillowtalkblog" and you can find a way to send me anonymous feedback as an employee. - Spencer
