Zillow Group
- Real Estate
- Seattle, WA, US
What employees are saying
The work model is mostly remote and yet the feel is that of a family who engage and care for each other, who support each other and celebrate successes in both their personal and work lives. This company truly is unique in multiple areas. The employees work harder so each individual has less on their plate. I've never worked for a company like this. If one person feels overwhelmed the response to help is immediate.

MountainSeed
- Real Estate

MountainSeed bends over backwards and twists in half during the backbend to be a great place to work. The last company Holiday party was truly unbelievable to me the lengths the company extended itself to be accommodating to employees. MountainSeed provides such a beneficial PTO package that we almost can not fulfill all of the time off. Meaningful events and events that promote health and well being are the norm not the exception.

- Real Estate
- Columbus, GA, US

Flournoy values their employees just as much as residents. Every experience is crafted to further confidence, educate, and motivate. When I first started here I had been in the industry less than a month. Every individual I've made contact with through Flournoy has taught me something and motivated me to grow. I feel many organizations these days simply don't prioritize their workers the way Flournoy does. It's more than a job, it's a family.

- Independence, OH, US

When I lost my dad, I was deeply grateful to be supported with bereavement leave and the flexibility to take additional time off using my PTO. It meant so much to have a manager who truly understood the importance of taking the time I needed to grieve and heal. That compassion isn't a one-time experience--every time I've needed to use my PTO, I've been met with understanding and support, never guilt. I'm also incredibly proud to work for a company that genuinely listens to its employees. At Redwood, I've seen meaningful changes come from employee feedback. In an organization of this size, it's easy to feel like just a number, but here, I feel heard, valued, and empowered to make a difference.

- Real Estate
- Denver, CO, US

I think AIR does a great job at making people feel welcome and allowing all to be themselves. It can be hard to find an environment where everyone is professional, but also a fun group to work with. One of my favorite things is Summer Fridays and how it allows us to take some well-deserved time during the summers to spend time with friends and family. I actually feel supported and cared about here, I know my team supports me both professionally and personally, I don't feel like a number and that is rare to find.
