The environment is one that someone would dream of. As long as you work hard, there is plenty of time to play hard as well. Working with like-minded people is very rewarding.
Svantaggi
Tedious, meticulous work, but looking at the bigger picture - this con can be associated with most jobs

Thanks for this great review! I agree our work can be repetitive, but I'm very glad you're able to see the big picture, and I appreciate that you focus on being meticulous. Please reach out to me anytime with suggestions on what we could do better, or if you have the next big idea for Zillow Group. -JR Gast, VP, Client Experience.
Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team.
Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.
Svantaggi
- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises.
- Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts.
- Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay.
- We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year.
- Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written.
- We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India.
- "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay")
- Health benefits have eroded for several years.
- Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation.
- AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
