We know the stats: women hold about 21 percent of technical jobs at Silicon Valley's top companies. Many of the women who make up that 21 percent have some feedback about their employers. According to a new report from the jobs site Comparably, the biggest tech companies-and their CEOs-don't make it to the top of the heap when women in the tech industry rate their employers.
Home matters to everyone. It’s an essential part of our physical security and financial stability; it shapes communities, friendships and weekend plans. We believe that if we can help every person make better, smarter decisions about where they choose to live, we can make a huge impact – at both an individual and a macro level.
At Zillow, we build transformational tools and services that help renters, buyers, homeowners and sellers find the home that’s right for them. We are constantly reimagining how people approach and interact with this decision by exploring new technology and investing in great ideas – whether they come from an intern or the CEO.

I have been working at Zillow full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Zillow is already one of the best tech companies you can work for, and they are always striving to be even better. They treat their employees like responsible adults (discretionary time off, rare after hours work, etc). Zillow is also great because it allows you to grow your career the way that you want to; you aren't forced to take a management role to progress.
Cons
Some of the release / engineering processes can be frustrating. Also, I disagree with the way they've historically chosen development managers. That being said, that's another area where I think Zillow is trying to improve.
Advice to Management
Stop promoting your strongest developers to management roles. Their technical skills are needed and they usually make poor managers.
Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Zillow.
Interview
6 interviews each lasting 30 minutes. First 3 were with the Recruiter, the Manager and the VP of Sales. Everyone was great to talk to and focused on picking the right candidate. It was fast paced and insightful as well as a fact finding mission about myself, my experience, what makes me tick and how I felt I could be succesful and contribute. I had a role play as well so be ready.
