Vantaggi
Witnessing tremendous growth, but still maintaining rock solid culture. Really like how management cares about employees and listens. I mean it, employee surveys are taken seriously and actions are taken based on that.
Innovation is at the core of the company. Always thinking big and moving fast to achieve those goals. It is hard to see from outside, but that is the reason Zillow dominates the markets and competition keeps on playing catch up game.
Pretty much still bottom up approach with small teams diving up awesome products. There is level of autonomy given to engineers.
Work life balance is great. I really like how we do all release activities during day time with almost no downtime to on live site. We have really efficient operations team that make this happen (they can be little stubborn at times, but they need to keep Zillow running -- understandable). That means no on call for developers.
Svantaggi
Mostly due to flat organization structure hard to see clear career progression.
