      Pros

      The best thing about working at Zillow is the people. We work collaboratively across teams here and it is so easy for folks to drop what they are doing to help someone out. The work-life balance is also incredible - I always feel like I can take time off and come back to work feeling refreshed.

      Cons

      The only con is that since Seattle is such a large office, booking meeting rooms can be a challenge at times.

      I worked at Zillow full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      -Empowered to solve large and exciting problems.
      -The people I worked alongside with inspired me, challenged me and really made the Zillow mission go from a statement to everyday life.
      -The speed at which the company moves at scale was impressive and fun to be a part of.
      -Ideas are truly heard at ALL levels to include C Suite.

      Cons

      -As a whole, Zillow Group can operate in a silo at times, especially in one particular business line.
      -A very small subset of leaders in one of the business lines added unnecessary challenges to career growth and opportunity.

      Advice to Management

      Zillow has absolutely nailed it in creating a great atmosphere for individuals to solve exciting housing and business problems. I would encourage Zillow to provide more movement in leadership across the entire company instead of a single business line. Group think and office politics creep in from time to time. As a whole, my experience at Zillow has dramatically improved my career and quality of life. Thanks Zillow!

      -Unprofessional management etiquette
      -Growth is difficult to achieve under the tutelage of individuals with less professional experience than entry level hires.

      Pros

      benefits are good and have hsa. we have a lot of snack in the kitchen. time off is flexible with enough notice to your lead

      Cons

      Since I started in PAC (the customer service position), there have been so many changes which has everyone down and the atmosphere isn't the same. Any time I am in a common area, there is always a PAC employee making a negative comment. I hear things all the time like "we are all replaceable" "bottom of the food chain" and we are not "cared about". Most agree the CEO has an amazing vision and best interest for employees, but that is easily forgotten in this department. The schedule I had for over a year was changed with weeks notice and I was told it was "permanent". A couple weeks later, changed again...to another "permanent". Management said they are available to speak with about ANY issues, this included. But when I go to my manager, I am delivered with a "it's not my problem" attitude. And when I say attitude, I mean it! Everyone is scared to voice their opinions, it is sad. I never thought I would see Zillow go down this road. So many people are unhappy but there is nothing we can do other than update our resumes and move on.

      Advice to Management

      Make the PAC team "fun" again. Too much tension and people should not be afraid to speak up and voice their opinions

      Hi, thanks for this feedback. I'm sorry you feel that way. One of the first things we did when I came to PAC a couple years ago was to stop changing schedules as frequent as every 3 months. It was... More
