Pros

Great coworkers and sometimes okay catered food once a week

Cons

This company is getting so corporate now and is not fun to be at anymore. I used to love coming into work but now it's just so obvious that management doesn't care about the individual but rather the business now. It's sad and I wish I could rewind to a year ago.

Pros

Growing company with lots fun perks voted best place to work multiple years in a row Incredible benefits - life changing benefits also voted some of the best Strong Executive leadership who i have faith will continue to navigate Zillow into an even powerful brand. Many of the recent glass door reviews seem to be negative or talking about poor leadership however in my 6 years at working at this company i could not have been surrounded with better talent and leaders who care. the other GM's in Denver are world class leaders and even the GM's across the rest of the company - i was/am proud to have called this place home as should the current employees at ZG. this company is just starting to scratch the tip of its potential and i cant wait to see what comes in the future! I am very proud of my time with ZG and i know anyone looking for a great place to learn and grow this would be an incredible opportunity!

Cons

yes, a lot of change has taken place but if you take a look back as i have, all the past changes have been the right move. change is never easy but its necessary in a growing company - i expect Denver to lead from the front and voice there concerns in a professional manner.
