Great benefits and company perks but soul sucking-work.

Pros

You can't deny that Zillow has pretty great benefits. The best health and vision insurance I've had to date. An office with amazing views of the Puget Sound and plentiful rotating snacks.

Cons

I can't speak for other roles or departments in the company, but if you enjoy being micromanaged and don't mind making 100+ dials a day to people who are sick of being called by Zillow then you can make some decent money. Although you'll most likely end up getting a percentage taken out of your future commission check when clients don't fulfill their contract and cancel because they're unhappy with the product.

Pros

- Amazing work/life balance. - CEO is one of the best and brightest. He truly cares about not just the business side of things but the people and Zillow Group's culture. - Incredibly talented individual contributors. - Benefits and stock are superb

Cons

- Leadership. Specifically in Brand Marketing. Tired leaders who have been at the company a bit too long and are no longer invested or willing to change. Some simply aren't equipped for the job and have been given too many chances. - Takes a lot for a "bad egg" to be noticed by upper management/leaders and make moves. - Unfortunate favoritism. - Company wants to be innovative (as they say), but struggle with what this looks like, who to listen to, and how to go about it. - Zero company-wide processes (it's a free for all) - Individual Contributors aren't set up for success and growth (managers don't know how to help directs manage growth or how to answer simple questions) - Leadership ego and attitudes (negative and toxic) - Lack of empowerment
