Culture, benefits, uncapped income potential, team spirit, forward-thinking and customer-focused, employee-focused, brand recognition...the list goes on and on.
Cons
Sometimes communication and execution of priority initiatives is spotty.

I'm glad you are feeling supporting during this time and that Zillow has been the right place for you. It matters to us. We're all experiencing uncharted territory right now and it has required an incredible amount of agility, understanding and creativity on the part of every employee. Stay safe, we'll keep moving forward and get through this, together. Thank you. -- Ann Sobil
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).
