Zillow is, so far, the best company I've had the pleasure to work for. They really stand behind their words with actual action. If people aren't satisfied with something, they listen, discuss, and take necessary action. They provide many avenues to voice your opinion, which empowers you as an employee and as a stakeholder in the company itself.
Culture isn't something they just talk about. They live it day in and day out by being active philanthropically, engendering a culture of respect, and providing avenues to unwind at work and outside of work.
Although Zillow is a large company, we still get plenty of opportunities to work with cutting-edge technology. There are hardly days where I feel like my team is stagnated or that I feel like technology is leaving us behind. The teams here aren't scared to work with bleeding-edge tech, and making mistakes or failing big is a part of the culture, not something frowned upon.
To summarize, if you're looking for a company that stands behind what they say and provides a challenging, yet fun place to work then Zillow is where you want to work.
I've been here for almost a year and so far I can't really pinpoint anything as a downside.
The work-life balance is great.
The culture, coworkers, and management make day-to-day work a pleasure.
Keep doing what you're doing: being honest and forthcoming with information, staying on top of your employees' happiness and health with all of the benefits provided, and creating an atmosphere of openness that makes working here so satisfying.
