Pros: Zillow gets it. The management seems to put a lot of thought into what makes a great workplace and does everything they can to empower their employees to be successful and happy. One thing that always bothered me about previous employers was the lack of internal communication regarding company direction and decision making. I've never once felt like I was in the dark at Zillow, and if something wasn't immediately obvious, I've always had my questions answered honestly. As an engineer, I've always felt like I've had a clear goal and direction, and I've never had to spend time spinning my wheels wondering what I should be doing. Management works hard to unblock things if any hurdles do arise, as long as you're willing to admit when you're having trouble.

Cons: Zillow is a very team-oriented company, so if you're the type that loves personal glory and recognition, you might not do well. Achievements definitely get recognized, but arrogance is massively frowned upon. That's not really a con for most people, but it might be for some.

Pros: Great working environment (food, drinks, workspace, noise level). Commitment at all levels to improving processes and trying new things. Executives do a good job of communicating the big picture to employees. Management makes an effort to help you achieve career goals.

Cons: Obstructive policies and processes are few but growing. As headcount grows, relationships across teams become harder to maintain, and collaboration becomes harder.

Pros: Company cares about employees with good WLB. Pay is competitive.

Cons: Not much cons I can think of.
