Zillow Inc (Z)’s CEO on LinkedIn Corp (LNKD) and How to Avoid “Tech Company Cancer”

Smith: Now, as you know, we provide advice for investors out there. Everybody’s loving the tech sphere right now, a lot of really interesting companies, but retail investors may not have access to management teams in the same way we do right now, with you. How should retail investors evaluate tech managers that they may never get to meet?

Rascoff: One of the best tools out there for this type of thing is actually reviews about the company on Glassdoor. You go to Glassdoor; you can read reviews that employees of Zillow Inc (NASDAQ:Z) have written about what it’s like to work at Zillow Inc (NASDAQ:Z). You can see my approval rating from my own employees, that rate how good a job I’m doing, and how good a job the management team is doing, and what it’s like to work there.

As an investor myself, I never buy stock in a company without reading reviews on Glassdoor of that company. It’s a great insight into what it’s really like at the company.
