Pros

If your looking to work with the best this is the place. Initially Zillow hired too fast and the result was a lot of waste built on the 20/80 rule. However since the reorganization it's a company of superstars, all striving to create the premier Internet real estate site. Fair warning you don't walk in as a superstar because you made it through the interviews, your expected to prove yourself.

Cons

Salaries are based on equivalent positions at similar companies. The problem is this is in relation to avg salary of these positions. Most people at Zillow would fall on the far right hand side of the salary bell curve at any other company. From a financial perspective Zillow will need a high IPO or sale price for it's employees to be truly compensated for their work.

Pros

Best reasons to work for Zillow include working with very bright and talent people, under exceptional great leaders such as the founders and managers. Zillow potential long-term upside is very clear to me. It has a very strong solid foundation allowing it to grows much bigger than it is today. This foundation includes successful experienced top rate management team, amazingly smart and hard working employees. Together, the people at Zillow has a working process to build, upgrade and improve products that can attract customers without spending advertising money. The products such as Zestimate and Mortgage Market place are fundamental bases for many product expansions to attract many visitors to the Zillow website.

Cons

Small start up company with high risk of not turning profitability within expected time line.

Pros

Startups can be notoriously brutal in terms of hours and changes in direction. Zillow is no exception, except the people are respectful of each other (no barking) and there is compassion around family issues and personal pursuits. Everyone is left to do their job to the best of their abilities. No one micro-manages you (unless you're underperforming) and you are allowed to be as creative and innovative as you'd like -- as long as it makes sense with the "play" that is called each year.

Cons

The unknown. With the economy we're in right now (2008 - 2009), we are in the eye of the storm -- real estate -- so no one knows how we will fare once the dust settles. Also, if you like to be a prima donna, you have no reason to be at Zillow. Everyone does the dishes, everyone refills the copier with paper... in other words, we do it all -- our jobs and beyond. Also, the salaries and benefits are OK -- not great, not bad, but just OK. Hey, it's a startup!
