      It's own unique culture

      Pros

      There's a lot of great things to say about Zillow. They provide their employees the best possible: great benefits, amenities, work-life balance, holiday parties, and a great workspace to name a few. Many at the company are quite talented, and it shows. The charisma the CEO possesses is outstanding, and his influence definitely reaches to all parts of the company.

      Cons

      A mostly sink-or-swim culture. Many like to flex their muscles, and without proper guidance (which is often the case) can cause endless discussions, and at times cause frustration, obstructing productivity. The pay is lower compared to higher tier companies, but the returns in other forms help.

      An interesting mess

      Pros

      If you have a high tolerance for chaos in pursuit of something remarkable, it's a great place to work. They trust their employees to figure things out. They're doing stuff that nobody else is trying. The technology itself wasn't necessarily all that innovative, with a few exceptions, but the concept and execution is definitely game-changing.

      Cons

      It's operated like a startup, even though the size of the engineering team, even post-layoff, makes that tricky; the management directive to adopt "agile" methods without any move to any particular agile methodology in mind was, in most teams, mostly taken as justification to do no planning.
