Pros

I can honestly say that this is the BEST company to work for. No, I am not just saying that. I know that we recently went through a big merger with Trulia and Zillow, and it was very hectic at first. Now that things have slowed down, I can see why Zillow is the #1 real estate website and why employees love working here. Yes, with any large company, it's impossible to make everyone happy, but overall theme is that employees love coming to work, love what they do and Zillow treats everyone very WELL. Anyone that says different is either not working here anymore or not old enough to have a professional, business attitude, which should be required for any job you can make over 6 figures in. Here are a couple reasons why things are so great. First, compensation is world class. Given all the additional perks we receive here, subsidized medical premiums, free snacks and breakfast, GREAT PEOPLE, the best benefits ever offered and most of all, the best work hours you can ask for--those are what make Zillow so great. It baffles me, the negative comments some people put on here about this company. Those are probably former employees that haven't found another job or are so miserable in their new job, they have nothing better to do than to complain about a company they know NOTHING about. I am grateful for the opportunity given to me and I have been around in corporate America long enough to not squander it.

Cons

Only downside is: I wish significant others were allowed to attend award functions. I thought and thought about this and I honestly can't find another downside.

Thank you for this incredible feedback. It's great to hear how much you're enjoying it here (pretty great huh!). Good idea. We'll explore the idea of significant others attending key top performer events, our goals have been to try to keep them team oriented, but maybe we can mix it up every once in while. You nailed it, want to make a difference? Want to be a part of a great team? Want to have fun? Want to make some good $$? And don't mind working hard (only M-F too), with perks, perks, perks. This place is the real-deal. But, you're right, we have very high standards, on purpose to keep it amazing. So, any amazing people out there, please check us out and apply! Thanks again! Greg Bland

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).
