Pros

Great people to work with and great benefits. Speakers come in from other companies to share their ideas and values which I have never experienced elsewhere. Very cool place to work

Cons

I have had one annual review so far and although I got a glowing review my pay increase was well under the national average for 2015. Also, my managers were not able to tell me why my pay increase was so low. So while Zillow prides themselves in being transparent, I have not clue about performance and how I have been evaluated. This makes for a really frustrating outlook in 2015.

We do appreciate your point of view on this area, and will consider it as we think about changes in the future. Also, feel free to work with your manager or HR Business Partner for more guidance on opportunities to grow and earn more in the organization. Tony Small VP, Sales Strategy

Startup ways of getting things done don't always scale. Opportunity now is to build process without becoming a prisoner to it.
