Pros

Love the people, benefits, culture, openness of the office. Truly the best position I have had in my career. I have never been so happy at a job as I am now. I love the review process and the core values.

Cons

401K match was an issue for some time, but management looked into it and fixed it.

Pros

I have worked at Zillow for just under a year. I actually found the job listing a year ago on Glassdoor and after reading the reviews, I knew it was too good to be true. Everyday when I walk in the office, I am so happy to be there. From my co-workers, to the environment, to the snacks--- it's so easy to see the culture. Zillow thrives on our core values, for example: think big, move fast and winning is fun. These values are apparent in each of the employees. They are posted on our walls as constant reminder of what we are here to do. I work directly with our Sales Team and Agents. Though at times, it can be tiring, like any job, I have never been more excited helping my colleagues and customers at any other job. I have scheduled monthly meetings with my supervisor, though it's rare that a week goes by without us checking in. My manager is in touch, as well as the VP. I have never felt happier at any company that I have worked at. Of course there are moments when you are physically and mentally tired, but it's worth it.

Cons

The only con isn't really a con in my eyes... we are growing so quickly that we can't hire support in each department fast enough. The work load is tough at times. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Pros

Great leadership. Management is all very approachable and really tries to advocate for their employes. Everyone's ideas and needs are listened to and put to action. The executives are engaging to listen to. Even in a room of a thousand people they make their speeches feel personable. The hiring process is really thorough, but if you get a job here you'll see why. Everybody that works at this company is a perfect fit with their team. Zillow sees the importance of company culture and does a great job of making sure that their employes work well together. I believe that everyone on my team genuinely likes one another. There are a lot of perks for working here, and HR is striving to make them even better. Can't wait for the 401k matching to start.

Cons

I think people on the sales team have way too much pressure on them and it trickles down to others.

Thank you for the great review. I agree that the annual meeting in December helped get everyone on the same page, and also fired us up for 2015. It is a huge investment in time, energy and money, but it is worth it. Getting 1000+ Zillowites all together in person for a few days to talk about the company, our goals, our culture, and our strategy is very important. Thank you for being here, and for contributing positively to our core values.
