Just don't bother

Pros

Benefits are okay, office is nice

Cons

I had to leave because I was sick of always doing my colleagues' work for them. They hire young people out of college who don't really understand anything and don't try to learn things themselves. A lot of people are lazy and I got tired of constantly having to pick up the extra work. I went to management about it and was basically told to deal with it and that I should be there to help my coworkers. Just don't bother. It was also hard to move to a different team because they're always hiring people externally instead of internally.

Pros

Beautiful office space, interesting guest speakers, good location, good pay. Lots of free food which helps since you put in the hours.

Cons

Company is run by a small group of people who have worked together for decades and are very set in their ways. Spencer Rascoff boasts that he hires people smarter than him, but in fact never listens to their ideas. Tactically driven company with no interest in strategy. The Zillow people love to mock companies they acquire and criticize the media.

Pros

Zillow has its perks. Free lunch, good pay, stocked kitchen and good employees

Cons

This place is a revolving door,I was let go due to my Manger putting his cancels In my name , the Manages pick and choose who they keep and let go. You have no type of job security, HR doesnt even consider your side,It's stressful when you sign up for a career and it's going great but, it's a high school atmosphere and gets brought to a end just because your manager used to be your competition and never liked you from the beginning so if you get on the bad side WATCH OUT they will do ANYTHING in their power to get you out of their they can replace you quicker than you even walking out the door.. Not to mention all the drugs that come through the doors. Especially the centennial location, people popping pills and trading pills, MANAGERS snorting cocaine on Spencer's book he handed out with their employees also taking xanex, oxy's you name you can find it at Zilloe Group. The stories could go on and on.

These are very serious and troubling allegations. While this review is not representative of our culture, I take this allegation very seriously. Making sure we have a safe and supportive workplace is our top priority, and it would be helpful if you will confidentially contact me or our legal team.
