Pros

Zillow has a truly data driven culture. The whole employee stack is top notch (PM, Eng, Design, Data, Marketing ect.). Zillow is lead by one of the few truly visionary leaders in tech, Rich Barton. It feels like a start up that is chasing an ambitious world changing goal, but with all the support, organization and infrastructure of a big tech company. Zillow cares about employee well being and this is demonstrated by the benefits. On top of that the workforce is distributed. I just moved from Seattle > Arizona significantly increasing my quality of life. Cant speak highly enough about working here. I'll be happily working here for the foreseeable future!

Cons

Zillow is disrupting Real estate. To do this we need to be nimble. This has resulted in some re-orgs to better deliver on opportunity in front of us. With this comes growing/changing pains. With that said leadership is transparent about the rationale and employees always fully buy into to make these challenging restructurings work.

You've been part of the Zillow team for some time and therefore, this review is very meaningful. We are transforming our business model, our industry and even the real estate transaction, and it wonderful to hear that you are continually inspired by this vision. You correct that more processes are needed, yet we should stay nimble and keep challenging ourselves. Thanks for being part of our journey! -Annie Rihn, VP of Recruiting

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.
