Pros

Where to begin... I told myself I would wait a year before I wrote this review, I wanted to make sure I wasn't just in a "honeymoon" phase. Well it turned out that it is not just a "honeymoon" phase at Zillow, it keeps getting better. My favorite perks/benefits are our desks that convert from sitting to standing at the push of a button, all the free snacks drinks and catered lunches, the gym reimbursement, 401k match, summer outing(we chartered a yacht for the day), holiday weekend(company flys all the employees out to Seattle for an awesome weekend), great health care....I could keep going but I think you get the point, it's awesome. My coworkers are all very self-driven so there is no need for micromanaging. The members of the executive team are all kind, down to earth and very intelligent. I have friends in the tech industry at other companies and when we compare cultures theirs just doesn't match up. Hoping for many more incredible years with Zillow

Cons

The only cons out there are the misconceptions that agents or others in the real estate industry have of Zillow, if they truly understood what Zillow's mission was, I think they would have a better appreciation for us.

Pros

Lots of free food. Nice view from the office and good location. Zillow name looks good on a resume.

Cons

Little to no support from managers and supervisors. Management talks a big game but I didn't see them act out the values in reality. The culture is completely lacking in support and training. If you can't hack it, you will be let go. And the bar is set really high, because almost everybody below the manager level is in their twenties and doesn't have a family (or a life!), workaholism was common in Finance. This is just a huge bureaucratic (and publicly traded) company now. How much creativity can really come from that?

I'm sorry to hear this. Supporting career development and work/life balance is a huge priority for us, and it's unfortunate you don't feel that you experienced this in your time here. Best of luck in your next job. - Amy (COO)

Pros

They practice what they preach - their core values. They value being transparent in all levels of the Zillow team - inter-departmental. Although there are directors/manager/leads, there is no real sense of hierarchy, and everyone is willing to lend a hand. We all work hard, and play hard. The teams and managers are very supportive, and there are many opportunities to help the community (which I think is terrific!). They have free food at least one time/month, and we are well taken care of by the business as a whole.

Cons

None so far! It's such a great company to work for.
