Pros: - Ridiculously fast growth and fantastic culture. - Hack week is probably the most fun I've had in my software dev career. - The people around me are the best balance of passionate, fun, yet professional that I've worked with in the industry. - There's always a lot of interesting work to do and problems to solve, but I'm still able to consistently work 40-45 hours a week.

Cons: Not quite elite compensation package. The company seems to be trying to hire top candidates, but offered a smaller comp package than what I was offered from Twitter and Facebook, and no free (daily) meals or parking.

Pros: Fun. Beyond the team "morale" activities, sponsored ski days, ping pong, Guitar Hero, and other activities, the people at Zillow are friendly and warm. Laughter is a sound heard almost daily. People enjoy working at Zillow. Honest, approachable leadership. The executive team is absolutely forthright about their decisions (and mistakes), the status of the company, and the direction moving forward. Furthermore, these honchos are down-to-earth and easy to talk with. For example, the CEO sits on the floor during all-hands meetings and has even been known to kowtow in thanks for hard work. The company feels like one big team.

Cons: Hard economic times have especially affected start-ups like Zillow. Layoffs, the struggles to make a profit in a down market, and the relentless pace of under-staffed development slowly sap the energy of a small company. Because the company is still young, there are limited resources for salary increases or other incentives. Stock options can only entice so much effort.

Pros: Great benefits, good culture!

Cons: Can't really think of any.
