An easy-going place to work

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun culture, smart people and good work flexibility lead to an easy-going work environment.

Cons

Management is very hands-off. As a consequence, life can be too easy-going at times. Sometimes the teams lack a sense of direction or urgency, there is poor transparency in how decisions are communicated, and resources are not allocated well. Finally, the SF office layout is way too divided and the elevators are terrible.

Thanks for the review. I'm glad things are going well overall. In terms of the hands-off management comment, this is good feedback. It's sometimes tough to strike the exact right balance. We strive to trust employees to make the right decisions and aim for the right outcomes vs. micromanaging them. We certainly should feel urgency in our business as there is never a lack of work to be done. We're just getting started in rentals! While our all hands meetings are intended to address some of your concerns around providing transparency about who is doing what, stay tuned for more of this as we get into Q4. I'd like to share even more about where we're going and how we'll get there. My hope is that this helps give people greater context around how all the pieces come together. Should you have any more specific feedback though, feel free to contact me directly. Thank again. Dan Hang, VP Zillow Group Rentals

Great Company, Great People, Great Benefits

Data scientist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everything. My boss is awesome, my boss's boss is awesome, ... the CEO is awesome. The views are amazing, the free food/snacks/drinks are great, and the benefits are great. I'm surrounded by smart people, and am constantly learning. Little red-tape and no business politics allow for us to immediately benefit the company and have a huge impact. I love my job. -p.s.: there are treadmill desks, a candy wall, ping pong tables, and a video game room!

Cons

From what I hear, it's pretty hard to make it in the Sales department. I'm more of a software developer, so we sort-of escape that kind of pressure. Also, we could use more bathrooms. But if that's the only complaint I can think of- I think Zillow is doing fine.
