RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Zillow full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Mostly great co-workers. Good management. Very nice facilities. Very good work/life balance.
Cons
It is less diverse than one would expect from a high tech player in Seattle. They do a good job hiring, paying, and promoting women, which is good. but it's very white. Cross-leg collaboration should be better, too.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. One of the things that makes me most proud to work at Zillow is the commitment to a culture of equity and belonging. While I think we do a lot of things right, we're never done, we never "arrive" and we will always strive to build a more diverse and inclusive workplace. -VP of Recruiting
Pros
good culture and work life balance
Cons
need to be generally more transparent with workforce

Pros
-Health, Dental, and Eye Care plans are top of the line -Benefits and perks in general at Zillow lead many larger tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft (more so before COVID-19 and WFH) -Company recognition of the importance of a sensible work-life balance -Sense of community within the company, even while working remotely -Indefinite work-from-home option -Company-wide efforts to improve WFH flexibility outside of typical 9-5 hours, especially for parents -The majority of the individuals that you work with are great people, inside and out of work. There is certainly a Zillow-factor for the type of people that are hired here. -Transparency from senior leadership -Diversity & Inclusion is highly valued and practiced
Cons
-Business roles do not receive the same degree of competitiveness as tech roles when it comes to compensation -As the company grows, most All Company meetings are beginning to feel more and more like stakeholder presentations compared to the exciting and inclusive update meetings held in the prior years -Upper management is largely dialing down on employee events like Holiday/Summer parties and ZG conferences to cut down on expenses, leaving company-wide morale noticeably lower than previous years -The amount of diversity seen in the workforce at Zillow does not match the amount of diversity seen in executive leadership

Allowing employees the flexibility to work from home indefinitely also means that opens us to being not just a great place to work in Seattle, but a great place for great talent anywhere. That's very exciting and lets us really expand our searches to ensure we're bringing in great and diverse talent. Thank you for what you shared here. You have some really great points that I will share with Crystal Tomczyk, our VP of Equity & Belonging. -VP, Recruiting

Sounds like you had a valuable experience as an Intern at Zillow. Finding ways for to feel connected while working remotely is one of our biggest priorities and challenges during this time. If you haven't already, it would be great for you to share with the Intern team, your insights on what kind of communication and cadence would have helped you. As employees now have the option to work remote indefinitely, I know the team would value your feedback. - VP, Recruiting
