Pluspunten

Great benefit package, phenomenal colleagues, and lots of free food. Plus, getting to be part of something really big and really cool; bringing transparency in real estate to everyone, not just the most educated or with the most to gain. Executive staff really pushes "zillow culture" and funds lunches, speakers, and events to keep it going. In Lincoln, the food is usually from local restaurants instead of the national chains. The speakers are typically leaders of well known companies, political figures, or amazing people doing amazing things. A recent speaker was from a non profit building schools in Africa. It's also cool that in such a huge company the top brass are very accessible, friendly, and really care about the workers doing the entry level jobs. I've emailed the CEO, Spencer, and actually received a friendly response in return. I don't think you'll find that at most companies, especially one the size of Zillow.

Minpunten

Working in a small office outside Seattle, I feel like I'm unable to be promoted or change roles because of the limited jobs and job types in my office. I'm hearing about the tremendous growth of the company all the time, but I'm not seeing it in my office and I'm not seeing it in the way of expanded opportunities for me or fellow co-workers. To take the next step in my career, I'll probably have to leave Zillow.

Thank you for your feedback. And thank you for calling me accessible -- I appreciate it! As you probably know, I am very excited about our opportunity for Mortech and Zillow Mortgages, and the Lincoln NE office is an important part of Zillow's future success. We are in the process of implementing a “3-day internal job post” for newly created positions – our HR/Recruiting team will be sending out communication around this shortly. The hope here is that all internal employees will get first consideration before we go out to the general public. And, we want to encourage inter-office movement now that we have multiple locations. (For example, a designer and PR person both just moved from our Seattle office to our New York Streeteasy office.) There are some promotions that occur without a job posting. In these cases, the employee is progressing through their career, and we are acknowledging their increased skills and responsibilities through a promotion. In situations like this, we wouldn't typically post this as a position that others are eligible for consideration. Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you are enjoying your time at Zillow.

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).
