As a leadership team we spend a lot of time thinking about how to support our employees. COVID has been challenging for everyone on many levels, but it's also provided us with the opportunity to stretch and evolve. It's very rewarding to hear this feedback. If you have any ideas on how we can improve as a team and organization, I'm all ears. Please reach out to me at davebei@zillowgroup.com. Thank you for all your efforts. - David Beitel, Chief Technology Officer

Thank you for highlighting some of the many benefits from working at Zillow. We are working on some exciting products for our consumers and utilizing new technologies in our empowered, small team model. I encourage you to talk with your manager and HRBP with any concerns about your compensation. We work hard to ensure we are competitive in the market based on the role and experience of each of our employees, especially in tech. Salary, stock, work environment and other company benefits are all factors with short and long term considerations. We'd be happy to discuss this with your further.

Pros

Work culture is awesome! Competitive and innovative work is happening. It’ll be interesting to see how things change in the real estate world in the near future. Snacks are great.

Cons

They used to spend a lot on company parties earlier. This is not a con. But some employees sounded happy with stock prices going up vs org spending on company parties.

You had an incredible impact at Zillow Group as a key member of our Database Administrator team. Given how important data is at Zillow Group, we couldn't do what we do without the close partnership of our DBAs and other engineers building, scaling and supporting our key data systems. We wish you well as you move to the next phase. Please don't be a stranger and keep in touch. You will be missed.
