Pros

The culture is amazing! The people are the best in the industry! And they take care of their employees.

Cons

Not many cons. I think that the only con would have to be the HR dept lacking proper procedures and etiquette in certain situations. Acting on emotion instead of following employment laws may be happening often.

Recruitment, interview and offer process for Zillow

Pros

My overall recruitment process with Zillow was very pleasant as well as shockingly quick. The total time from phone screen to offer spanned just under 4 weeks, and the winter holidays took place during that time, so it probably would have been even quicker. My recruiter was responsive, knowledgeable and very kind. I felt like my recruiter was really motivated for me to have a good experience. When an offer was made, the details were clear and the aspects that had wiggle room to negotiate were also made clear. On top of a very competitive offer, the CEO sent me a personal note and we exchanged some emails about the company - a really nice touch.

Cons

The only negative in the process, and this is small, is the number of handlers I interfaced with during the process. From beginning to end, there were 3 individuals who helped me through the process and it wasn't always clear who my main point of contact was. Again, this is small stuff, but it would have been nice to know upfront the different roles to set my expectations.

Thank you so much for your feedback on the recruiting process! I am glad it was a positive experience and that you are enjoying your time at Zillow so far. I think your specific feedback on number of "handlers" in the process is actually quite interesting and is a small area of refinement we could work on to make sure candidates know who is their point person. Good stuff! Thank you. Annie Rihn

Pros

Exec team is super accessible. Love the free food. Really data driven. The company is willing to do what it takes to really win. Super smart people leading the org.

Cons

Hard to connect with peers on other teams. I think I could learn a lot more if I got to hang out with folks doing what I'm doing on other teams.

Thanks for the review and I'm so glad things seem to be going well. To your point on connecting with other teams - I'm glad to hear you're interested. We have a ton of talented people in our building who work on similar problems, technologies, etc so it's key to get that sharing going. We have done some things here already (e.g., shared Innovation/Hack Week schedule) but we'll work to do more. -Dan, VP and GM Rentals
