The benefits are top of the line, and in most cases the pay is above average. The CEO is extremely transparent, and the company's mission is genuine.
Cons
As with any emerging tech company, change is essential. However, sometimes that goal precedes the needs of their client base, or products and features are released too quickly.

Thank you for the review. I share the same sentiment you have regarding the benefits at Zillow Group, our mission, and the level of transparency exhibited by our executives. I am curious to hear more of your thoughts regarding the level of leadership you observe day to day. Please feel free to reach out to me at stevec@zillowgroup.com or come see me on the sales floor during my next visit to Denver. Thank you again for the feedback. Steve Capezza - Vice President, Premier Agent Sales
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).
