Do cool stuff

Pros

Great culture. This includes cool events like “Hackweek,” a week-long event held three times a year where we get to work on our own projects. Happy hours, team building events, game room, cook-offs, etc. Smart people. Continually impressed by my colleagues. Interesting work. This is because of the company size: small enough to make an impact but large enough to be secure. Great management (this is huge!). I personally see little politics within the team. Lots of autonomy. Hours are okay. No need to work every weekend.

Cons

Pay and benefits very below average for industry. No annual bonus (at least in my org). Stock tanked, leaving some employees with worthless options. It's a big source of discontent and the reason why some have left or are leaving for companies next door like Amazon, Google, Tableau. Unclear path for advancement within the company. No training. Employees are expected to learn on their own outside of work hours.

One of the best places to work for

Pros

They practice what they preach - their core values. They value being transparent in all levels of the Zillow team - inter-departmental. Although there are directors/manager/leads, there is no real sense of hierarchy, and everyone is willing to lend a hand. We all work hard, and play hard. The teams and managers are very supportive, and there are many opportunities to help the community (which I think is terrific!). They have free food at least one time/month, and we are well taken care of by the business as a whole.

Cons

None so far! It's such a great company to work for.

Inside sales

Pros

This is a great company to work for. If you're good and exceed your quota each month, the sales positions pay well. Spencer the CEO is awesome, very open about the company and has always given the sales guys what we'very asked for. Examples being standing desks, Frozen Yogurt machines and most recently quota relief during the recent merger. It's a fun place to work, I work my 8 hours, raid the free food and drinks, and rally home.

Cons

It can be a grind. Making 80-100 calls a day can wear down even the most motivated salesperson.
