Pros

Working at Zillow is awesome. It is very easy to get involved, the culture is the best I've ever seen. It's actually fun coming to work. There's no "Corporate America" feeling whatsoever. Especially in OC, that tech/media company feel is hard to find. You get paid very well for the work you do, the people are awesome, you get snacks, free lunches, contests, COLD BREW COFFEE ON TAP!!! The CEO sit in the same type of desk as the rest of the employees, there's a great open atmosphere that anyone can thrive in.

Cons

There are no cons. The company is completely transparent and all the leaders are awesome. There's nobody that you can ask questions too.

Thank you for the great review! The Irvine office is a great office, with a really cool vibe. It is full of happy, positive people (so our other offices, of course -- but there is something special about that Southern California vibe!). I enjoy spending time there.

Pros

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.

Cons

- 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).
