Pros: For the most part, I enjoyed my time at Zillow. They are concerned about career growth, creating an environment of impactful work and inclusion.

Cons: Constant org changes provide an opportunity for you to work for the wrong manager/director. In my case, it ultimately ended my career.

Pros: There are a lot of great things to say about Zillow. They provide their employees the best possible: * Great benefits * Amenities * Work-life balance * Holiday parties * A great workspace, to name a few. Many at the company are quite talented, and it shows. The charisma the CEO possesses is outstanding, and his influence definitely reaches all parts of the company.

Cons: A mostly sink-or-swim culture. Many like to flex their muscles, and without proper guidance (which is often the case) can cause endless discussions and, at times, frustration, obstructing productivity. The pay is lower compared to higher-tier companies, but the returns in other forms help.

Pros: Work from home, decent benefits.

Cons: Management tends to protect problematic employees instead of addressing long-standing behavioral issues. This can leave team members feeling unsupported when dealing with verbal abuse or toxic behavior. There’s a tendency to prioritize appearances for leadership rather than genuinely solving problems. Employees may feel pressured to provide positive ratings or feedback that don’t reflect reality, and performance management is sometimes used in a retaliatory way. Complaints raised to HR often seem to result in surface-level actions or cover-ups rather than addressing the root cause. Overall, trust and psychological safety are lacking, and accountability is inconsistent.
