Pros

Input is incouraged and often implemented upon across the organization. Benefits are really strong, even for the Seattle tech community. Focus on career advancement is the strongest I've ever experienced in a company.

Cons

Growing pains are evident, especially when it comes to process and procedures (or sometimes lack thereof). However, as eluded to in the pros, the ability to help shape the direction of future goals and drive future success is a strong mitigating factor to this. Ownership is a requirement here. Not necessarily a con, but a heads up to anyone who just wants to just wants to sit at a desk and execute on an already delivered plan, that won't always exist here. For people who want to help shape the future of a team, this is honestly a plus.

Pros

Very collaborative team, encouraging team members and managers. Great experience overall.

Cons

Because most people work remote, sometimes it can be hard to meet immediately to chat.

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.
