Best Tech Company I Have Ever Worked For

Pros

My manager is amazing and genuinely invested in our work and lives. I get to work with execs and share my projects when it is applicable, despite only being a coordinator. There's very little red-tape or protocols that block people lower on the food chain from contributing meaningfully and sharing their work and projects with execs. Most importantly there is support throughout the company for having work/life balance. I live over and hour commute from the Seattle office and I never feel pressured to stay late and miss my train. We are treated like adults and trusted to get our jobs done. It is a great place to work, not just because of the perks, but because of the respect and support we get from our managers and execs. Highly recommend!

Cons

I think it depends on your job, but I have had some trouble developing in my role because it didn't exist before I came on. However, this has allowed me a lot of input and ownership over defining what I want the role to be.

Pros

I was an inside sales rep for a little over a year and for the most part I liked It.. Great people (for the most part), fun environment , music, food

Cons

The management team in Irvine Is horrible well, I take that back just one in particular; the manager that everyone tries to get off of her team. They make sure to practice Core values but, don't seem to implement it in their career at Zillow. They have numerous complaints for this manager and she's still employed there. I can count 4 people off the top of my head that quit just because they transferred to her team and wasn't allowed to move teams and didn't want to deal with her unprofessional rude degrading self! I feel sorry for anyone that has to remain on her team.

Regarding our core values, they are the common denominator that guides all decision making, action, and vision. I am sorry to hear you feel otherwise; especially, as it pertains to the leadership team here in Irvine. I can say every member of our leadership team views their relationships with our customers and sales team as the top priorities of our business. We are also consistent in putting that philosophy into action. If you have more feedback regarding your experience, I am eager to hear it. Please feel free to reach out to stevec@zillow.com.

Pros

First and foremost the people I work with is the secret to the great culture. Followed by the way C Suite leadership actually listens to ideas, concerns or simple feedback. This company has been a gamechanger for my career and A LOT of my peers as well.

Cons

If change and progress are uncomfortable for someone it could be a challenge.
