Zillow

"Evaluate each position separately. There's fantastic people at Zillow but sexism in the industry still remains. The glass ceiling is there, but I believe that they have the intent to try to change it. Could they be working harder, doing more like hire more diverse people in positions of power? Absolutely. But they are not at square one when it comes to diversity and inclusion. As a cis woman I would say working here you have the potential for a great experience, but speak to the engineering manager, the hiring manager, people on the team, recruiting, and see for yourself. I have heard plenty of women in my position say they've never had issues, but also heard handfuls of women in private say that being a woman impacts them all the time. Whether in all-male meetings and being talked over, not supported from their peers as a mother, etc. "

"Stay away from company happy hours because thats typically when trouble starts. "

"Great company with a great new mission! It's a growing company. "

"Their actions speak volumes in the core values they strive to improve on for women and all equity and belonging space. "

"Everyone at Zillow Group strives to continuously improve the company culture for all employees."

"The interview process is difficult and once you're hired it's even more difficult to get them to see you as an equal player. They pride themselves on diversity, but I found it patronizing. I want to be respected because of my skills and the value I bring, not just a woman to bring up their diversity points. If you like that kind of thing, though, you'll be fine. "

"There are some great benefits and some wonderful programs to take advantage of, so anyone new to ZG should take advantage of them - zSpeakers, culture/events, workships, Lynda training courses, etc. Network hard. If you have a great internal network, it does make career development and lateral moves that much easier, plus, you will be happier here. The company is very social (as Spencer, the CEO, is active on multiple social media forums and encourages everyone to be as well). As such, the company is open and shares publicly their work towards improving culture and experience for women, and there is still work needed. If you have an issue, you have to be extremely vocal, loud, and basically the squeaky wheel to be heard and taken seriously (as a woman), but it eventually will be addressed if enough people complain (compared to men). "

"The company and its policies are great. Do not work in Operations, as you will eventually be put on a shelf once you reach a certian level."
