Pros

Zillow is a great place to work. Great culture, great CEO, and lots of free snacks and perks. Employees are friendly to each other. Plus, there are Hackweeks to try whatever we like.

Cons

Lack of organizational level standard (maybe a not a totally bad thing) : Each team tends to do thing with a bit of their own culture. Some teams are more strict while some teams are more chill. Some teams are more old school while teams some are more innovative. Pay level is okay but not as competitive.

Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you like it here. I would agree there are differences between the teams just like the work they are doing is. However, you bring up a good point and I’ll look into that more. As far as pay we always try to remain competitive and because of that we reassess compensation companywide every year. – Justin LaJoie, VP

The American Dream Realized

Pros

I had no idea how much a job could positively change the very life you live, until I started selling for Zillow. The reason why is simple, there is opportunity here. As a career salesman, I couldn't ask for a better company to represent and a better product to sell. I represent a company that is true to their ideals and takes employee satisfaction very seriously. I sell a product that can REALLY enhance a persons career potential and is a force that benefits millions across our great nation. As the company grows, I feel like I am growing with it. I love being involved in a company where there is so much innovation and change as time progresses. There is always another challenge and therefore, it never gets boring. The reason I titled this "The American Dream Realized" is because Zillow has finally given me the platform and tools I have been looking for to start making a great living. A great living of course must be earned. All anybody can ask for is a fair environment where excellence in rewarded, and the inevitable struggles are dealt with compassionately from superiors and colleagues. Everyone is in it together and they are willing to help each other succeed, despite the underlying competitiveness that is natural in the sales world. To feel that I'm genuinely being compensated based on the work I put in, is the one of most empowering and exciting experiences I have ever had in my life. I care for the people that I work with at Zillow, and I feel they care about me too. It's just simply a pleasure to be here.

Cons

I've been around for less than a year, and clearly it is too early for me to come up with anything. Sometimes the cold brew runs out which is a huge bummer, but that's a first world problem though.

Thank you for the glowing review. The professional, financial, and personal opportunity we have here at Zillow Group is world class. I am glad to hear you are as excited about our opportunity as I am. Your assertion regarding the competitive nature of a sales environment is completely accurate. We pride ourselves in driving a healthy data meritocracy where top level performance is rewarded and peer success is celebrated. Our business is built on integrity and teamwork. I am glad you see that in practice among your peers and managers. Like any other endeavor, ours is one that can continue to innovate and improve. If you have suggestions along those lines, feel free to pull me aside on the sales floor or email me at stevec@zillow.com. Thanks again for the feedback. Steve Capezza, Senior Director – Orange County Sales

Thanks for the review! Though the Client Engagement Specialist role in Denver will, by nature, require a fast pace and a high degree of calling, we do want to make it fun, interesting, and of course, rewarding (that part should be easy as the job is so important.) If you're open to sharing any specific concerns with me, Id love to hear them You have my email and phone via the Zall Wall. Hope to hear from you soon! - Tony Small
