Zillow Vs Intuit: Software Engineer
Career advice needed! Was laid off from Indeed and now I have two job offers on the table for #swe - one from Zillow and the other from Intuit. Both offers have a competitive TC, but Zillow's offer includes more stocks and sign-on bonus. However, I'm more inclined towards Intuit due to its stability and company growth. Can anyone share their insights on which company would be a better choice in terms of career growth and work culture? Specifically, I'm interested in hearing about the work culture at Zillow. Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance! Edit: YOE: 12 years Both have offered the same base - Atlanta based Zillow - Remote
Share offer details if you really want constructive advice.
If I were in your shoes, I’d take Intuit. You have not shared the comp details, but that wouldn’t sway the decision one way or the other given that you said the TC is competitive at both. My decision would primarily be based on the industries each firm operates in. Real estate is the last industry you want to be associated with , going into a recession. And the Covid + 0% interest rate bubble Has not been burst, yet.
Well, that would be an even stronger case for Intuit. Isn’t Zillow still running at a net loss, and not turning profitable any time soon? Last I checked , Intuit had a P/E ratio that wasn’t too bad.
This sentiment is exaggerated. People still buy, rent, and sell homes in recessions. See 2008. ZG is extremely healthy financially and the risk for layoffs are minimal. Additionally, all of the macroeconomic negatives will be a major boost for ZG when things ultimately turn around. I’d make the decision on team, culture, tech, and growth potential vs. the scare of real estate industry.
Without knowing comp details, I’d choose Intuit all day everyday and twice on Friday.
What was the base you got offered?
Go Zillow for WLB and remote policy.
what is the base? and is the stock over 4 yrs ?
Does Zillow have consistent yearly refreshers?
yea but less
I don’t know about working in Zillow so I can’t comment on comparison. But I really do love working at Intuit. If it’s in Atlanta, it probably is for Mailchimp which is doing well and their people are well regarded in the company. Since Zillow is also a good company that’s always going to be around, the greater factor would be whether you really want to relocate and how much you like your current situation. The greater sign on bonus should take care of any layoff jitters since you are already paid upfront.
The new head of MC is also a bonafide leader. I watched her operate QB Money like nobody’s business.
Zillow, way more money + remote. Keep in mind due to the current climate you are unlikely to get full bonus.
YOE, TC and offer details?
