Vantaggi

Great benefits and beautiful building

Svantaggi

The organization has not figured out how to grow. They do not want process in place to slow down their rapid speed but need it desperately to support growth. Generally the right arm doesn't know what the left arm is doing. People will jump so quickly into action with a new idea that it doesn't matter the amount of money or energy they put into this idea. The company is not data driven in it's business decisions. There is not software in place to help the company scale and everything on the business side is done manually and with tons of pain. They are not ready to be a mature company.

I am disappointed to read your feedback. I do agree with sentences like this though: "They do not want process in place to slow down their rapid speed but need it desperately to support growth." That is our conundrum - trying to stay nimble and with all the benefits of a small company, while still benefiting from the resources of a large company. Threading this needle is my #1 priority for 2014 personally, and for the company. On the product side of the company, I am trying hard to keep our teams as small as possible which I think helps a lot, and to empower PTLs and others at that level to be as autonomous as possible. I wish some of your feedback was more specific and actionable. If you want to follow up on any of this, please feel free to reach back out to me via email and we'll set up a call or meeting, or to anyone in HR (e.g., Kathleen, Annie, Corina). It says here that you're a "former employee" but if you want to make Zillow better for those you've left behind, I would always like to learn from experiences like yours. ------------------------------- Spencer Rascoff CEO, Zillow Inc. 1301 2nd Avenue, 31st Floor Seattle WA 98101 Twitter: @spencerrascoff

Vantaggi

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).
