Pros: Good, talented people. Work on new projects using the latest technologies. Catered lunches, happy hour.

Cons: There should be more communication between different teams, and people should not work in silos.

Pros: I can't say enough good things about Zillow. The original founders and current leadership have infused the company with a passion beyond that of any other company I'm aware of. I believe we have a really great vision and an incredible amount of growth potential ahead of us, and that makes the company so much fun to work out. Employees are treated very, very well. We have a really fun culture, we're paid well enough and have stock options that continue to grow. We're still at that perfect size where a single employee can make a really big difference in the company as a whole.

Cons: Pay for engineers at least seems to be a bit below what other employers pay. You probably won't get a salary offer that matches one from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or the like. That said, if you ask me, working at such a neat company with insane growth and potential for career advancement makes the tradeoff worth it.

Pros: Zillow is a great place to work. Great culture, great CEO, and lots of free snacks and perks. Employees are friendly to each other. Plus, there are Hackweeks to try whatever we like.

Cons: Lack of organizational-level standard (maybe not a totally bad thing): Each team tends to do things with a bit of its own culture. Some teams are more strict, while some teams are more chill. Some teams are more old-school, while some teams are more innovative. Pay level is okay but not as competitive.
