Pros

Awesome CEO Fun perks- happy hours, events, parties, etc. Great culture Loved co-workers

Cons

Overwork you, and expect you to work about 10 hr days, no overtime Constant cold calling, and once again, expect you to stay into late hours/early mornings doing so terrible work/life balance

Thanks for taking the time to relate your experiences at Zillow and I am glad there were some positives to your time here. In regards to the work life balance issue, we believe it's important to be able to achieve sales goals in an 8 hour work day and that's how we operate on a day to day basis. The vast majority of our sales people would tell you that we've have achieved the right balance - With good focus , our people are able to exceed their goals without having to work extended hours or weekends.

Pros

Management team is long term focused. Not distracted by shareholders or competition. They have a commitment to hiring the best people and cutting bait with those who are't big fast thinkers.

Cons

Not many. Teams generally work well together and are highly collaborative. Company is getting big with the integration of Trulia and execution is largely the biggest risk.

Thank you for the great review! I'm very glad that you feel the leadership team is not overly focused on the near term or on competition. You are correct. We are focused on building a very significant company over the LONG term, and that means making big investments which won't pay off for a long time. On the topic of maintaining a strong corporate culture and one which empowers great people, I actually wrote about this today in Fortune: http://fortune.com/2015/06/04/spencer-rascoff-keeping-your-best-employees/

Thank you for saying I am cool - I appreciate that. But the rest of what you wrote is very concerning and upsetting to me. We have many talented people at Zillow from all different ethnic, cultural, religious and racial backgrounds. I will discuss your concerns with the team here and see if we can possibly learn from your experience (specifically, I mean the comment that you felt that managers played favorites). Sincerely, Spencer
