Pros

There are too many reasons to choose from, but my main best reason to work for Zillow is they truly care about their employees, and realize that Zillow is what it is because of the team of employees at Zillow. Beyond that, its the day to day enjoyment of working with a great team from tech to business, who really enjoy being there.

Cons

People who are not familiar with a start up not realizing how wonderful life at zillow is!

Pros

Zillow has a group of top notch talent. Ping pong, foosball, catered dinners for late nights, flex hours, snacks, kitchen, great view of Puget Sound, really nice people.

Cons

High office building if you are uncomfortable with heights. It is a fast paced organization adjusting its business needs quickly so users must be flexible in the need to stay late and or work weekends. The pay at Zillow is not the greatest and they emphasize the value of stock options which have no value until they are exercised. The morale has had its ups and down with a fair amount of turnover. Not sure of the exact cause as everyone has a story but when a company goes from a startup with a limited number of people and expands greatly in a short time period may explain things.

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.
