Pros

* Plenty of onboarding / ramp-up time * Work-life balance * Great mix of interesting challenges and reasonable delivery expectations * Company lives its values

Cons

* I ran into some team-level "ownership" issues: both "we don't want this particular piece" when it makes sense to include it, and "we want to keep control over this other piece" when doing so makes life difficult for other teams for no good reason.

Pros

Cutting edge technology. Great work-life balance. Good Perks. Catered lunch on Fridays. Diversity! "Build your own idea" week events. If people aren't satisfied with something, they listen, discuss, and take necessary action.

Cons

Not very many cons, at least not in my first year of employment. Zillow is a medium-sized, fast-growing company. You may find some cross-office communication problems as the company doesn't follow a `remote-first` approach.
