Consistently on "best places to work" lists for good reason!

Pros

Zillow Group is consistently on several "best places to work" lists and for very good reasons. I have been with several organizations throughout my professional career and Zillow Group has hands-down done more for me than anywhere else I've worked. First off, the culture is second-to-none. From free food and beverages on a daily basis to incomparable perks and bonuses, Zillow Group truly has an amazing culture. The leadership, starting with Spencer Rascoff on down, the management, and the employees make it a truly great place to work! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic career opportunity! Benefits packages offered are literally the best I have ever seen throughout my professional career. I can honestly say I look forward to going there each and every day and contributing to my team and the organization as a whole!

Cons

Being a tech-based company, you must constantly change and adapt to stay ahead of the competition. Our CEO, Spencer says that if you get complacent, you will get blindsided by the competition. With that said, change is the only constant at Zillow group. If you are flexible and adaptable, it is a very fun, exciting, and challenging atmosphere, but if you prefer the status quo and do not do well with change, it would most certainly not be a good fit.

Thanks again and best wishes for continued success. Greg Bland, VP Sales & Denver Site Director

Pros

Good energy, generous benefits, great snack, good onboarding: seems like a fairly flat management style, too new to the position to really make any comments.

Cons

The office space is just ok. Other than the standing desks and generous kitchen, the physical environment could be better.

Thanks for your feedback. Sounds like you are off to a great start. If you have specific ideas about how we can make the office environment better, please pass that on. I'd be happy to take the feedback and make sure it gets to the right people for consideration. As you mention, we have made a few key improvements over the past few years, including flexible desks and good selection of healthy food (and a few options to satisfy our sweet tooth). Not sure what office location you work in, but the views in Seattle, where I have my desk, are awesome, and it is fun to be downtown with good transit options and only a few blocks from Pike Market. Thanks again. -David Beitel, Zillow Group CTO.
