Pros

Leadership is exceptional -- smart, strategic, genuinely care about their teams and the mission of the organization. The people here are unlike anywhere else. Talk to any former or current employee at Zillow and they will all say their favorite part of working here is the people. Folks have incredible integrity, creative vision, strategic chops -- they are the real deal and great friends as well. Some of my best friends came from working here and we still stay in weekly contact. The mission is incredible -- helping Americans find a place to live. It's one of the basic necessities of life and truly rewarding.

Cons

Cons are small and not worthy of mention.

Awesome Company

Pros

Zillow has a terrific internal culture and a great sense of work/life balance. Despite the high expectations at work, it's entirely possible to unplug for an evening, weekend, or vacation and set work aside. The company recognizes talent and quality contributions and there are a lot of opportunities to move up.

Cons

I'm struggling to think of any significant negatives.

Strong culture and environment

Pros

Input is incouraged and often implemented upon across the organization. Benefits are really strong, even for the Seattle tech community. Focus on career advancement is the strongest I've ever experienced in a company.

Cons

Growing pains are evident, especially when it comes to process and procedures (or sometimes lack thereof). However, as eluded to in the pros, the ability to help shape the direction of future goals and drive future success is a strong mitigating factor to this. Ownership is a requirement here. Not necessarily a con, but a heads up to anyone who just wants to just wants to sit at a desk and execute on an already delivered plan, that won't always exist here. For people who want to help shape the future of a team, this is honestly a plus.
