Pros

Fantastic culture, great benefits, nearly unlimited room for personal growth, and great work/life balance. Beyond building up each employee and truly investing time and efforts in them, Zillow provides an atmosphere that makes you want to be there and work hard as the company is doing the same for us. We just recently had "Engineer in Training Day" which allowed us to bring our children in to work (it was synched up with a school holiday too). There were over 250 kids from ages 3 to 18 and the event was so much fun and so well organized. My 5 year old absolutely loved it and I did too. Zillow also brings in guest speakers to help widen our views and learn what it takes to be highly successful.

Cons

Come here and try to find some, I haven't found any cons so far... pay is competitive, benefits are great, atmosphere is fun while not missing the goal of growing and improving to become a better website/product.

Pros

Excellent work atmosphere, at a company that does the right thing by its customers, users and employees. I have worked in the banking and finance industry for 14+ years and have never before experienced the feeling of getting up every morning and being excited to come to work. From my first day through my first year this feeling has not changed.

Cons

Sometimes the coffee machine runs out of beans. Seriously this is the worst thing that happens here. On a serious note you have to be able to adapt to change quickly at this company but if you are able to accept that change is good and run with it you will truly enjoy the privilege of working here.

Pros

I never thought I'd find a company that I really, truly loved going to work everyday at, but Zillow has become a second family to me. Management is transparent, approachable, and genuinely invested in making Zillow the best possible place to work. Benefits are amazing, corporate culture is incredibly cohesive throughout the organization, and a balanced work life balance is encouraged from top to bottom. I never want to work anywhere else.

Cons

The only con is that the stock options given as part of employee compensation are essentially worthless. The executive team has made it clear that they're focused on making Zillow a stable, long term company and they're not very focused on driving up the stock price in lieu of long term stability.

Thank you for your review and comments! I’m so glad you’re happy here. On your comment about stock options – while you are right that we are not focused on the short term variations in stock price, we are VERY focused on creating long term value for all of our shareholders, including you. Ultimately you benefit from this as an owner, and your $Z is more valuable over time. That said, it’s important for us in the short term to remain competitive in our employee compensation packages, and we will be rolling out some new things soon that I think should make you happy. Stay tuned and thanks for your feedback. - Amy (COO)
