Pros

Work independently without micromanagement - you are left to do your best work.

Cons

Sometimes the product is overly complex. Some architecture redesign is needed to reduce number of services and other complexity.

Thank you for this review! As you know (because you have worked here for a few years), we try to keep our product teams as small as possible and run them as semi-autonomous units. Almost like individual startups. They each have their own product queues, their own Devs, designer(s), test(ers), PMs, etc, and they are responsible for their own feature prioritizations. This makes things much more nimble, and also makes it a more interesting place to work on Product than most other companies. It's all about trying to keep Zillow agile despite growing our company size signficantly.

Thank you for this review! I agree that the Starbucks machine in the Seattle office has a line that is too long. Though the upside is that it gives us all a moment to meet a few new people while we're waiting! A few HackWeeks ago, someone built a CoffeeCam so you can see the line's size via webcam on our corporate intranet. Made me laugh.

Ouch. Your review bummed me out. I'm sorry that you've had a bad experience at Zillow. It isn't consistent with what most employees think about our company. If there is anything that I can learn about Zillow from your experience here, please feel free to email me at spencer at zillow dot com. Perhaps there are things you can suggest which I can improve. Thank you.
