No, you do not need to book a Zall Pass. All employees who have registered to attend HackWeek in person will have a Zall Pass automatically booked for them.

There will be plenty of space for teams to work on their projects throughout the office, including a mix of focus areas and open or enclosed meeting spaces. Any rooms available in Outlook can be booked for HackWeek teams to work in. All rooms on floor 32 and 35, as well as dedicated zRetreat rooms (marked as restricted in Outlook), cannot be booked and are first come first served.

Yes, you will need a badge to enter the building. Please plan to bring your ZG badge with you. If you do not have a ZG badge you can head to floor 31 when you arrive to get a loaner badge.

Zillow will cover hotel stays from July 23-28. Zillow Group will not be responsible for any hotel nights booked outside of the HackWeek dates. If you are in town before or after, you can extend your stay, but the nights outside of these dates will be charged to your personal card.

Seattle employees who live more than 40 miles from the Seattle office can book a hotel room for HackWeek and reimburse their mileage commuting to and from their hotel.

For those located within city limits, you should plan to use public transportation and can expense your commute to and from the office. If it’s not possible for you to commute via public transportation, you can also drive to the office, and expense daily parking in downtown Seattle. Local employees should not use Uber or other rideshare services as a means of transportation to and from HackWeek.

Only those staying at hotels more than ¾ mile from the office can expense a rideshare during the week. We value our employees’ safety above all, and if you feel uncomfortable at early or late hours during the week, please use your best judgment when traveling to and from the office.

As this is an internal meeting, Zillow Group will not cover the expenses of any outside guests. Personal guests will not be allowed to visit the ZG office this week.

Weather in July can range from 55 to 85 degrees. It may be warm, but plan for indoor office temperatures and bring layers. The Seattle office will be set to 70 degrees indoor temperature for HackWeek.

Dress code is casual. Wear whatever you’re comfortable hacking in and don’t forget to pack any vintage HackWeek t-shirts if you have some!

You can spend your per diem ($100 per day) only on the days that you are traveling to and from Seattle. Please do not plan for any team dinners or events outside of the HackWeek agenda, as these will not be approved or covered by ZG.

All attendees are required to follow ZG’s COVID-19 health and safety policy. While having a vaccination record on file is no longer required for in-person gatherings, all employees are prohibited from coming into the office or interacting in person with coworkers or other third parties on behalf of ZG if they are experiencing any symptoms associated with COVID-19.

As always, we are continuously monitoring CDC guidance, state and local requirements, and other developments regarding COVID-19, vaccines, and safety. These requirements may change based on current CDC guidance, local health and safety orders, or active COVID-19 cases/outbreaks.

If you are feeling unwell and there is a potential impact to your travel plans while attending HackWeek in person, reach out to your HR business partner for assistance.

Please use the expense category 'In Office Work' when submitting your expenses following the event. More information on how to submit an expense report in Workday can be found on Zallway.

Zillow Group does not tolerate harassment or discrimination. Disrespectful,

unprofessional behavior which may not rise to the level of harassment or discrimination is still

unacceptable and may result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment.

Alcohol & Drugs

Employees are prohibited from reporting to work or work-related events, or being on Zillow Group premises (including during personal time) with any detectable trace of any illegal drug in their system, or while impaired or intoxicated by alcohol. If you ever feel pressured to drink alcohol, you should feel comfortable saying no, removing yourself from the situation immediately, and reporting the situation to your manager, HR Business Partner, or any other appropriate resource as outlined in the Employee Handbook or on the Company Intranet. 

Beer and wine may only be present or consumed on Zillow Group premises with the approval of a
