Glad things are going so well! Good feedback on communication. We organize in smaller teams because we believe that's most efficient, but this approach makes communication across even more important. Expect more here in the future but also feel free to reach out to me or others in management if you've ever got a question. -Dan, VP Rentals

Pros

Great opportunities for growth and career development. Management assesses what your skill set is and what you enjoy doing and then finds opportunities for you to get involved in projects that fit your specific skills and passions. Zillow is also an incredibly FUN place to work. From block parties to engaging and famous guest speakers, there is always something to look forward to on your calendar. Even though Zillow Group has more than 2,000 employees now, I know that if I have a great idea it has the potential to be acted upon which is a rare and beautiful testament to how special this company is.

Cons

Cold and flu germs spread pretty easily in the open concept office layout... but so do innovative ideas and friendships.

Pros

Great people, benefits, view, snacks and room to growth as the team is growing rapidly.

Cons

Specfically, for this position. The work is extremely repetitive. Only way to break that is to move up within the team or make a lateral move.

Thanks for the review. I understand the note re: the job being repetitive. We're aware of this and are working on/thinking of ways to make it more fun and interesting. Of course, as you noted, the team is growing fast, and that also leads to more opportunities for growth (in this team and others.) -Tony VP and GM, Premier Agent
