Pros

I was super nervous when this acquisition between Mortech/Zillow went down but this seriously has to be one of the best places to work in country, let alone Lincoln NE. Perks Include: Game Rooms (Ping Pong, Shuffleboard, Video Games, Golf, Basketball) Catered Lunches (Every Wednesday and special occasions) Free snacks/drinks Laid Back Work Atmosphere (tunes playing through Sonos speakers all day) Great Benefits Work Outings that are really fun Great People Opportunity 2X a year to work on whatever you want to improve company/product Casual Dress Code Encouraged to email anyone from manager to CEO with anything you need

Cons

I'd love to see more accountability between departments, too many issues turn into a "he said she said" type conversations that can get frustrating not only to employees but our customers.

I can understand why many folks were worried about the acquisition when it originally happened, but I'm so glad you are really happy with where we ended up together. Zillow's mortgages business is much stronger with Mortech and Zillow Mortgages united. Thx for your feedback about cross department functionality - it's something Jason and Doug are already working on and we'd love any other input you have on how we could do better on that in particular. - Erin Lantz, VP Mortgages

Pros

1) Leadership is fantastic 2) Work is challenging 3) Coworkers are authentic and caring 4) Massive opportunity for growth 5) Benefits are getting better --- namely, 401k match, maternity leave

Cons

I truly love working at Zillow. As the company grows, there is certainly a bit more red tape and process. This can be challenging. However, leadership is aware of this and makes an effort to combat this.

Thank you for the review. Yes, I am definitely aware of the challenges that we face as we grow. And I am committed to minimizing red tape and process (except where helpful!). We have to remain nimble and keep acting like a startup in order to stay ahead. I've always said that "startup" is a state of mind. A company doesn't stop being a startup when it reaches a certain size; it stops being a startup when it stops moving quickly. I think that Zillow, despite being > 1000 employees, can and will still act like a startup -- move fast, think big (one of our Core Values).
