Pros

Zillow has such a positive, fun, fast paced environment that is exciting to work in. They truly care about their employees. They respect you, listen to you, and appreciate you. The benefits and work life balance are excellent. The office's are beautiful and well designed. I can't say enough positive things about this company!

Cons

There aren't any concrete cons. The work is fast paced, which means changes can happen quickly, and you need to be ready and excited to work at this pace. The office environment is open, which is amazing for myself, but I do know this is challenging to other people - the positive in this is that ZG has heard this feedback and in their office space design they continue to include more small phone rooms/quiet spaces for people who work better in that environment.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
