Regular bay area benefits. Food only on fridays. Maternity leave for 4 months

Management is pretty bad. Developers who have been at Zillow are dominating at zillow and other developers are required to comply with old developers or they need are forced to resign. Politics wins at Zillow No growth opportunities

I see that you have moved on from Zillow, but I do want to emphasize that we are serious about taking employees feedback on this channel to heart and to making real change based on what we learn. While we continually focus on making strides to ensure teams have positive management and resource needed to thrive in their roles, our work will never be done. We wish you the best in your next chapter. -VP of Recruiting

Pros

Good perks and above average salaries

Cons

The design team leadership has no clue how to run a design org. They have a bread a culture around favoritism and where no one is allowed to question authority. They prefer fancy presentations and smooth talking over actual work. So, if you are good at making powerpoint decks and can talk about it over and over again, Zillow is the right place for you.

I appreciate the time you took to voice your concerns. We work hard to make Zillow a great place to work and an environment where good ideas can come from anyone. While I don’t share your point of view on our design team leadership or talent, we are taking your feedback seriously and are taking a close look for more opportunities to improve. - Kristin Acker, Senior VP of Experience Design

Pros

The Representatives that I worked with were some of the best people I have ever worked with. Too bad Zillow did not look at those team members as being good enough to even being considered for a promotion.

Cons

So many. So so many. So so so many! Most Important (To Me): Zillow Discriminates Against US Veterans. If you are a US Veteran be ready for a fight for what you have daily cause someone WILL make your life hard. Not If, When.

Without knowing more about the circumstances, I cannot provide an entirely helpful response so I invite you to reach out to me at crystalt@zillowgroup.com so I can understand more about your experience. It goes without saying that discrimination of any kind goes against our core values and expectations of our leaders, full stop. What I can tell you is that we have a strong Veteran's Employee Network with more than 440 employees who are both Veterans and allies. We also partner with organizations like Military Mojo to help source military candidates and currently have Veterans employed at all levels within Zillow. This is a continued focus of ours both to support Veterans as well as military spouses.
