      Pros

      Work life balance, benefits, core values, opportunities for growth, communication,

      Cons

      Too much complaining from entitled co-workers..so many are just aren't focused on the work we are there to do but rather all of the SJW stuff happening.

      Advice to Management

      Eliminate the affinity networks, like other company's have started to do, they are encouraging separation and some groups are not all welcoming to those different than they are.

      I have been working at Zillow (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Amazing, inclusive culture. The company truly lives it's core values, all the way up to our CEO. Also growing a ton; Zillow Offers and Zillow Mortgage are very exciting new ventures.

      Cons

      Tons and tons of change; rapid growth means that there have been re-orgs as well as a lot of new teams, can be unsettling or overwhelming for some.

      Advice to Management

      We're becoming a true "grown-up", well-built public company, but don't lose the edge that made us a fast-acting, fun place to work.

      Zillow Response

      Feb 1, 2019 – CEO (Spencer Rascoff)

      Thank you for the great review! I couldn't agree more -- lots of growth, lots of change, and working hard to make sure we don't lose our edge that made this a fast-acting fun place to work.

      "Chaotic"

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Former Employee - Marketing
      Former Employee - Marketing

      I worked at Zillow full-time

      Pros

      Good benefits and nice office location

      Cons

      The marketing org is a hot mess and there is a lack of process and decision making. Upper-level management thinks their job is to review and approve but lacks the ability to strategize.

      The company also seems to lack empathy for its customers and has made a few bad business moves with very little regard to how it affects the people who pay the bills.

      Pros

      The company strives to do its best

      Cons

      The company has to sometimes make decisions based on whats best for shareholders and not the business and its customers

      Pros

      fun culture

      nice people
      opportunities for internal growth and transfers

      Cons

      inner circle of original employees and those with seniority control decisions
      backlog of projects cause delays
      Massive growth has caused zillow to become less dynamic and many voices and great ideas are overlooked

      Advice to Management

      Invest in your employees who are invested in the company and give larger raises to prevent losing talent. Be more dynamic even if it is impossibly difficult at times.

      Pros

      I absolutely love Zillow and working for this company. The people here are amazing and the culture is great, as well as unbelievable health benefits. I love how there is a focus on ensuring employees have ample opportunity for growth, development and learning. We also get a lot of vacation time which is nice, as Zillow really cares about it's employee's Work/Life balance. I have every intention of staying and growing with this awesome company.

      Cons

      I have nothing but positive things to say about this organization.
