      Fun place to work. Relatively low stress considering the fast paced environment. Minimal micro-management.

      Pros

      1. Excellent knowledge transfer (dev and test seem to share information freely) 2. Low bureaucracy (no trivial meetings, micro-management free, flexible time) 3. Friendly people (definitely less than a 10% jerk rate!) 4. Plenty of opportunities 5. Awesome location (the views really are breathtaking) 6. Free bus pass

      Cons

      1. Low pay (if company never goes public -- not taking options into account, I estimate about a 20% lower salary than perhaps Microsoft and Amazon) 2. Benefits are mediocre at best 3. People might be starting to worry if zillow will go public (Are we hoping for this to happen in 1, 2, 3 , or more years?)

      Pros

      - Work environment. The office is beyond beautiful, and the people are amazing - Location! I love this city! (Seattle)

      Cons

      Its still a startup and with that comes the stress and the salary of working for one. Not for people with low energy.

      It's a company romance - loving what you do and who you do it with.

      Pros

      The sheer joy and exhileration of working with this truly stellar team of individuals. There are of course individual teams within Zillow, but it feels to me like we are all on the same team, engaged in the same big goal. A recent conversation had in the elevator says it all for me, in the context of what are you doing this weekend. The reply was, "I don't really have any plans," so I quipped, "Well I guess you could come in to work." He smiled and said, "And you know that would be okay." Our conversation wrapped up pretty quickly, as elevator conversations tend to do, with the agreement that it's a pretty rare and magical experience to truly enjoying being at work each day. It's really a romance - loving what you do and who you do it with.

      Cons

      Startup pay. For those used to or who prefer a lot of infrastructure support (e.g. receptionist, facilities, admin, IT support) - you might not like it. Zillow is a lean machine. You do your own shipping, faxing, pickup your mail from the front, make your own coffee, do your own dishes). We might even be out of papertowels or batteries occasionally - but amazingly we cope. :) I personally like this and it feels more like a community to me because there really aren't any dedicated "housekeeper" functions so to speak.
