About the company

Zillow

Company overview
Zillow Group runs a major online real estate marketplace focused on helping people find homes to rent or buy in the United States. The company makes money through products for real estate professionals (including agent advertising and software) and through adjacent services such as rentals and mortgage origination. Zillow Group also owns well-known consumer brands in the category, including Zillow, Trulia, StreetEasy, and HotPads. The company positions the product direction around making home shopping and moving services more integrated for consumers.

Locations and presence

Job postings are typically labeled by location type (remote, hybrid, office, or field), and teams use offices primarily for collaboration and in-person gatherings rather than daily attendance.

Palpable Score

72.8
/ 100
Zillow Group offers real early-career entry points through a named rotational program and visible new-grad and intern hiring, but the volume and consistency across functions is harder to verify from public listings because many postings are not easily readable without platform access. Zillow Group is unusually explicit in public materials about interview preparation, pay equity work, learning infrastructure, and distributed-work practices, which helps early-career candidates judge fit. Employee sentiment signals look mixed, so the upside is real, but the experience may vary by team.
