Zillow reviews

My experience with Data Services was uncomfortable and equivalent to high school. Current leadership boasted and enabled childish drama, managers threw people under the bus daily, belittling, public shaming, name-calling, and the list goes and goes. High maintenance managers team up against everyone to create a hostile work environment for those who were qualified to be there. Even if your not involved with the drama, you hear it constantly. The office as a whole is good. But beware of involvement with this toxic and unprofessional department. It doesn’t abide by the ZG rules.

The Denver office doesn’t have as many departments as other offices do. Therefore, the growth is really hard if you’re not willing to relocate. The entry position is a very easy CES position which is where most begin their Zillow career. However, there isn’t much of a system to monitor employees. You can be a top performer on your team and/or in the department, and the treatment is the same as the guy sitting next to you doing half the work but taking double the breaks. They claim this is monitored, but there doesn’t seem to be much managing of the “slackers”. Top performers are rarely recognized by upper management and receive zero incentive for their hard work and dedication to the company. It sucks. As managers are encouraged to help with career development, the room for growth is sparse and the demand is high. A survey is sent out to employees to provide feedback and every time I fill this out, I voice my opinion about compensating top performers and I never ever hear a word about it. They stress “power to the people” and that they hear us, but this topic continues to go unheard. It’s so un-motivating especially to the people who are actually dedicated. Employees are growing frustrated and morale is way down.
