Zillow reviews

Little to no support from managers and supervisors. Management talks a big game but I didn't see them act out the values in reality. The culture is completely lacking in support and training. If you can't hack it, you will be let go. And the bar is set really high, because almost everybody below the manager level is in their twenties and doesn't have a family (or a life!), workaholism was common in Finance. This is just a huge bureaucratic (and publicly traded) company now. How much creativity can really come from that?

If you are beginning your career at Zillow and growing within, expect to be perpetually underpaid and never rightsized. Zillow classically "grows" their employees by giving them additional responsibilities or even completely new roles without formal promotions or pay raises for months. Once those promotions do occur, compensation is nowhere near what they would hire an external employee with the same skills. Leadership is nonexistent. Nothing but posturing, grandstanding. The "incredible culture" is a farce and purely for show. The executive leadership team is comprised of bullies with unchecked ego and arrogance and they are largely incompetent. Zillow is constantly attempting to iterate new ideas with shockingly little thought or intention resulting in the dissolution of teams left and right, hence the colossal failure of Zillow Offers. You will not have a voice at this company, you will not be compensated equitably, you will not even be treated with respect, you will simply be a cog in the floundering machine that is Zillow.
