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

The Best

Pros

Work/Life Balance - Never expected to work ridiculous hours. Tough Mudder. Talent Show. Happy Hours. Morale Events. I never watch the clock while I'm at work. Everyone here is intelligent and hard-working without a political "let me take credit for that" attitude. I've always been trusted to do good work and given the credit for my contributions without feeling cheated or taken advantage of. Hackweeks! Zillow wants me to succeed, so I want us to succeed.

Cons

No dogs allowed! Though our CEO has conveyed a personal wish for dogs, the building won't allow it which is a bummer. Maybe someday if we occupy enough floors!

Thank you so much for the great comments. I am so glad you have found a place to call home, be part of a great team, contributing to our products, working hard and having fun. That's really what it is all about. And, I do have to say that I really enjoy the Hackweeks. It is impressive to see the great product ideas, features and engineering tools that come out of those weeks. As a recently new owner of the most awesome French Bulldog, Milo, I have to agree with you that I wish we could bring our dogs to work. Maybe some day. :-) Keep up the great work, and if you ever want to provide any comments to me directly or ask any questions about our engineer efforts or company, please stop by. - David Beitel, CTO Zillow Group #ZGisaTeamSport

Pros

Zillow Group is consistently on several "best places to work" lists and for very good reasons. I have been with several organizations throughout my professional career and Zillow Group has hands-down done more for me than anywhere else I've worked. First off, the culture is second-to-none. From free food and beverages on a daily basis to incomparable perks and bonuses, Zillow Group truly has an amazing culture. The leadership, starting with Spencer Rascoff on down, the management, and the employees make it a truly great place to work! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic career opportunity! Benefits packages offered are literally the best I have ever seen throughout my professional career. I can honestly say I look forward to going there each and every day and contributing to my team and the organization as a whole!

Cons

Being a tech-based company, you must constantly change and adapt to stay ahead of the competition. Our CEO, Spencer says that if you get complacent, you will get blindsided by the competition. With that said, change is the only constant at Zillow group. If you are flexible and adaptable, it is a very fun, exciting, and challenging atmosphere, but if you prefer the status quo and do not do well with change, it would most certainly not be a good fit.
