Pluspunten
Startups can be notoriously brutal in terms of hours and changes in direction. Zillow is no exception, except the people are respectful of each other (no barking) and there is compassion around family issues and personal pursuits. Everyone is left to do their job to the best of their abilities. No one micro-manages you (unless you're underperforming) and you are allowed to be as creative and innovative as you'd like -- as long as it makes sense with the "play" that is called each year.
Minpunten
The unknown. With the economy we're in right now (2008 - 2009), we are in the eye of the storm -- real estate -- so no one knows how we will fare once the dust settles. Also, if you like to be a prima donna, you have no reason to be at Zillow. Everyone does the dishes, everyone refills the copier with paper... in other words, we do it all -- our jobs and beyond. Also, the salaries and benefits are OK -- not great, not bad, but just OK. Hey, it's a startup!
