Zillow Work Experiences
- 4.0A pretty good place to workSenior Software Development Engineer • Former EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesJanuary 24, 2017Pros: Awesome physical environment. Zillow tends to hire smart people who also have empathy towards others. Lots of room for growth in the business. Decent compensation. No on-call. A lot of promotions from within.Cons: Slow release process. It's being worked on, but we were shipping once every 2 weeks, and sometimes once a month, which can be frustrating when what you work on requires iterations. A lot of the tech stack is the result of hack week projects that don't seem to have much ongoing support. Some teams lack a clear charter.
