Pros

No micro management. Treats employees with respect and consistently keeps us in 'the know'. One of their motos is #turnonthelights meaning there is complete transparency from Senior Execs, company shifts, etc all the way to the bottom. Open door policy - They seem to value opinions and ideas. In the past I've worked at several companies where 'sharing your opinion was welcome' but in reality would put you on the radar as a troublemaker. GREAT benefits. Strong 401k match. In my opinion, the health plan is among one of the best I've heard of. Maternity/Paternity just increased to 16 weeks. If you produce they will take care of you with pay increase + stock options. Of course, the never ending supply of cafe/coffee and snacks is a nice perk. I could keep going but if you're thinking about applying do yourself a favor and pull the trigger. Spencer and the exec team are talented, strong leaders with a vision. I'll remain at the company for some time because I truly believe it will continue to expand into something even greater than it already is.

Cons

None yet. I've only worked at the company for a little over a year so the corporate drama could inevitably surface but from what I've experienced thus far it's a well oiled machine that values it's employees.

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. We understand that frequent changes to roles, account ownership and business priorities can have a real impact on relationship-building and the day-to-day experience in sales. We’re glad to hear compensation was a positive part of your time at Zillow, and we appreciate you being candid about where the model and structure felt frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand how these changes are experienced across teams as the business evolves.
