Pros

Work/life balance is great, since leadership just sleepwalks. They don't do anything, nor do they make any positive impacts.

Maternity leave is great for the beneficiary, but bad for the team since someone has to cover their work while they are gone for a long time. Leadership will tell you to figure it out without any help.

Cons
  • Lack of leadership. All they do is re-org and re-org until you quit. Clueless.

  • CEO and CTO have passed their prime. What worked 20 years ago, they are still living in the past. Fossils.

  • Lack of accountability by leadership. They laughed and joked during all-hands meetings about their mistakes with ZO, and then told 2000 employees that they would be responsible and would be laid off, while they would have great bonuses for the upcoming year.

Advice to Management

It's too late. Damages have been done by leadership. Game over for Zillow. And as far as their core values... they don't follow them themselves. Leadership only cares about themselves.
