Pros
Work life balance is incredible (in 65 reviews)
Free food catered in at least once a week (in 52 reviews)
Cons
Work/Life Balance is harder to achieve purely because the program is so involved, and needs to cover a huge range of hours (in 16 reviews)
Zillow has been working hard to be more diverse and it is apparent in most of the department's, except for inside sales (in 10 reviews)

Pros
Zillow has an amazing culture and set of values. The longer I work here the more I see new ways which they live up to those values. I both feel appreciated and listened to by my coworkers and superiors. And the pay and benefits are, also, pretty amazing.
Cons
I really haven't experienced any.

Pros
- There's something special about a company that truly believes and cares about their employees. The Learning & Development team along with the People team have truly shined throughout all of Zillow Group.
- "Own it" is a core value and they really mean it.
- Benefits are spectacular
- There are so many teams a different kinds of people working here, you can really find a community and niche.Cons
- "Own it" can also be a con ... Too much of this, and there isn't enough structure or leadership to actually get things done properly
- "Move Fast, Think Big" sounds great in theory, but when moving *too* fast, you miss the details and process that can be crucial to great success. I'd love to move quickly without hacking things together or putting band-aids over things that could use more of an overhaul or thorough thought process.
- Discretionary Time Off is wonderful, but really isn't the same across the company. Each manager is different and therefore unlimited DTO varies.Advice to Management
Talking amongst one another and truly listening to your employees and taking action. Process and transparency are absolutely key in creating a successful project, initiative and product.

Pros
The culture is great, everyone is empowered to pick up any project outside of their job description. Everyone is ready to help out another coworker, either in a project or to educate.
Cons
Career development is still very blurry, if you're a strong individual and know what you want then this shouldn't be a problem.

Pros
I've only been at Zillow for 6+ weeks but I don't have enough great things to say about my experience and the Zillow Group as an enterprise.
- I started with a 2 week onboarding agenda given to me day 1. This really helped with a quick ramp up and set a promising foundation.
- My team is very supportive. They make me feel truly appreciated. They have been by my side as a cheerleader but are also first to jump in when I voice for help and advice.
- My management, the VPs, and even our department Chief, have gone out of their way to ensure I have everything I need to be successful. They consistently remind me that they are here in any capacity needed to support my role and success.
It is really refreshing to see an employer trying so hard to foster their employees and empower them to grow beyond their means.
Reflecting on my past 6 weeks and overall impression as a new hire, joining Zillow has been a great decision for my career growth.Cons
I can't really think of any to be honest. The benefits are great. The people are great.
My manager is great. The work is fun and challenging.Advice to Management
There's nothing I would change about my management. She has given me freedom to make a difference and voice any thoughts. I haven't been frowned on me for asking questions or in need for help and support. I feel supported in my career growth and goals.

Pros
The work environment/culture is amazing. People are positive and have fun at work, while working hard. Management expects a lot out their teams. For those that are willing to work hard, have a great team mentality and attitude, and quickly adapt to change there is massive opportunity for financial earnings and career growth.
I could not be happier with my role here. I leave work every day and week feeling good about my opportunities and contributions to the greater whole. I highly recommend Zillow as a career path. Thank you!!Cons
Communication from management can sometimes lack clarity. Some of this has to do with just how quick things move and evolve here. Continue to focus on delivering new updates, training, etc. in digestible formats.
Advice to Management
The keys to what makes this office tick is the people/environment/culture/vibe. Continue hiring the right positive and hungry people to this team!

Pros
I'm new. Accepting this job was the best decision I ever made. It's already been life-changing. Imagine what it feels like to get 15 pats on the back and "attaboys" for simply closing your first sale, and then to get a barrage of emails congratulating you, from people you don't even know yet. All from a group of people who are legitimatly stoked for your success. THAT is what it feels like to work on the Sales team here. Its hard work. But it's fulfilling, and the training is phenomenal.
If you are interested in working at Zillow, or on the fence about applying, read Spencer Rascoff's blog post on Linkedin about his quarterly meeting with investors who didn't care about financials, and only had questions about company culture. I think THAT is the ultimate secret at Zillow; amazing company culture.
What you read about it is 100% TRUE.Cons
I have no cons to report.
Advice to Management
Move fast. Think Big. Keep it up!!

Pros
My coworkers, the benefits, the executive team, work/life balance- all great.
Cons
My job was underpaid in comparison to similar jobs at other companies in the area. The organization of my team was a mess, the director ignored feedback from employees, and there was no growth opportunity. The company itself is very social- loud music, beers, constant parties- which can be fun, but it's over the top and it would be great if they would take some of the money spent on parties and swag and pay employees more.
Advice to Management
Middle management needs to better engage with employees on the ground level. We know our clients and our opinions matter.
