Pros: The people I have worked with so far are the best and the brightest I've ever met. Zillow stays true to itself and its employees by hiring the best and providing a great environment for them to do their best.

Cons: It's often cloudy for some or all of the day in Seattle.

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: Work/Life Balance - Never expected to work ridiculous hours. Tough Mudder. Talent Show. Happy Hours. Morale Events. I never watch the clock while I'm at work. Everyone here is intelligent and hard-working, without a political "let me take credit for that" attitude. I've always been trusted to do good work and given the credit for my contributions without feeling cheated or taken advantage of. Hackweeks! Zillow wants me to succeed, so I want us to succeed.

Cons: No dogs allowed! Though our CEO has conveyed a personal wish for dogs, the building won't allow it, which is a bummer. Maybe someday if we occupy enough floors!
