Pros

Company really believes in the long term vision and is steadfast in achieving it.

Cons

Mid-tier (group and director) management is very involved in the minutia of product development. The desire to go deep and into the weeds indicates room for management to develop stronger communication or trust and results in a lack of autonomy and team thrash. There's an overwhelming sense of project management instead of product management with PMs executing a vision and strategy they have little control over. Product groups reflect the lack of confidence within leadership and are territorial, often jumping to defend their surfaces and constituencies at the cost of Zillow 2.0.

Pros

decent pay, good benefits, if you have a good manager, work can be easy and enjoyable. Decent relocation package, could be better tho** they only give you 1 month in corporate housing.

Cons

no growth opportunities, they will tell you there are, but the only people who get executive positions are white frat boys who know the right people. They will also offer higher pay, raises, more stock options to the employees they "like" NOT based on performance whatsoever.

Data Services is corrupt.

Pros

Worth mention: CEO has innovative vision, is personable, snacks are free, work/balance, benefits copetitive

Cons

My experience with Data Services was uncomfortable and equivalent to high school. Current leadership boasted and enabled childish drama, managers threw people under the bus daily, belittling, public shaming, name-calling, and the list goes and goes. High maintenance managers team up against everyone to create a hostile work environment for those who were qualified to be there. Even if your not involved with the drama, you hear it constantly. The office as a whole is good. But beware of involvement with this toxic and unprofessional department. It doesn’t abide by the ZG rules.

I am terribly sorry you had such an unpleasant experience with the Data Services team. This group has been working heads down for several years to collect and process important data for Zillow Group, and I have been pleased with the results of this team to date. There is significant complexity in this data and the attention to detail is critical. I encourage you to share your feedback to your HR representative during your exit interview and reach out to me if you feel like your concerns have not been properly heard. We don't condone the type of behavior you describe, and we have not heard this level of feedback prior. - David Beitel, Zillow Group, CTO davebei@zillowgroup.com
