Pluspunten

In addition to the usual tech company perks (free drinks/snacks, happy hours, free public transit, etc.), Zillow has an unparalleled commitment to work-life balance. Management invests in employees through competitive compensation, benefits, career and technical development, diversity and inclusion, and an ability to transfer internally between roles and even job groups.

Minpunten

I have no real complaints. My only concern is that as the company grows beyond the point where institutional knowledge is scalable, there may be technical and cultural debt that prohibits growth and flexibility. However, I have confidence that management will try to proactively address this before it becomes a major problem.

Thank you for your comments and for being a member of the team with a great outlook and attitude for positive change. We will certainly have challenges as we continue to scale our product, services and teams, but we are investing in our employees, managers at all levels and know that we investing in our technology and culture is something we must continue to do to be successful. I encourage you to engage in these conversations as we discuss investing in paying down tech debt and scaling key products. I won't tolerate any retaliation for feedback and concerns voiced by our employees. We want this feedback and want our employees to take ownership in developing solutions. We depend on this to be successful. Thanks again, and don't hesitate to reach out to me directly if you want to discuss you specific feedback or situation.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

- 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).
