Not sure how much compensation would Zillow give. I see much lower numbers on Glassdoor than MS. Also the culture looks laid back, not sure if it would be good for growth, considering I am early in my career.
Its not like they would give you an offer for just being at MS
Very bad compensation numbers. I wasted my time. Stay away
Would use as a practice interview. Otherwise, not very good
Zillow offered me very competitive pay, far above MS. But you need to have competing offers for them to raise.
Zillow gave me a competitive offer, better than amazon and Oci but worse than FB. They were willing to negotiate and were pleasant to work with.
Just made the move, TC is susbstantionly better than msft, around 30% more
I’m wondering if it’s a new thing or just certain parts of Zillow, but recently their offers are far more competitive than they have a reputation of having.
Not sure when this started, I just interviewed late last year... but besides the TC, I really liked the company and the interview process was so pleasant and from what I hear the company culture is great.
In terms of comp, Zillow can definitely give you a raise, as long as you are solid. Don’t simply assume there is an offer waiting for you just because you are from MS, according to my experience, only 50% of MS candidates can pass onsite. There were several candidates I interviewed didn’t prepare at all, it was waist of time for all of us.
We hired a manager from MS last year, he was the worst manager I ever see. He is a diversity hire, not sure if we can get rid of him. We hired many great leadership positions from MS, but not this one.
Comps usually close to market rate, but walking in with other offers is always helpful because zillow does good job at matching. Company culture is great and we have an excellent work life balance.
We hire a lot of polical animals from MS. I just don't understand, why we are so obsessed with MS? They are much worse than they are used to be 10 years ago. Besides, lots of MS principals don't know how to use git and Linux environment. They like having meetings all day without any actual progress. Just don't know why. The MS gang is growing, like a cancer.
Amazon gang is growing too. 🤮
heard they are solid, on par with GoDaddy.
