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.

In regards to Skynet, the homegrown system we've built to help identify the best sales opportunities, it absolutely is a work in process - as we speak, we are working diligently to improve the interface, provide our people with additional tools and improve the dashboard to include additional data points. Stay tuned for new iterations, many of which are a direct result of feedback given to us by the sales team. Doug Slotkin VP, Local Ad Sales

Pros

Wonderful people, unique culture, phenomenal benefits, and great pay! Everyone I worked with was genuinely excited about their work (and coming into work)! It was hands-down the best place I ever worked! Zillow's culture is refreshing and vibrant! Plus the amenities were incentive enough (fully stocked kitchens, fresh juice and snacks, massages on Wednesdays, mani-cube manicures in office, treadmill desks, awesome Christmas gifts and an out-of-this-world, company-wide holiday party!)

Cons

None. Absolutely NONE! The words "dream job" come to mind!

Pros

I can honestly say that this is the BEST company to work for. No, I am not just saying that. I know that we recently went through a big merger with Trulia and Zillow, and it was very hectic at first. Now that things have slowed down, I can see why Zillow is the #1 real estate website and why employees love working here. Yes, with any large company, it's impossible to make everyone happy, but overall theme is that employees love coming to work, love what they do and Zillow treats everyone very WELL. Anyone that says different is either not working here anymore or not old enough to have a professional, business attitude, which should be required for any job you can make over 6 figures in. Here are a couple reasons why things are so great. First, compensation is world class. Given all the additional perks we receive here, subsidized medical premiums, free snacks and breakfast, GREAT PEOPLE, the best benefits ever offered and most of all, the best work hours you can ask for--those are what make Zillow so great. It baffles me, the negative comments some people put on here about this company. Those are probably former employees that haven't found another job or are so miserable in their new job, they have nothing better to do than to complain about a company they know NOTHING about. I am grateful for the opportunity given to me and I have been around in corporate America long enough to not squander it.

Cons

Only downside is: I wish significant others were allowed to attend award functions. I thought and thought about this and I honestly can't find another downside.

Thank you for this incredible feedback. It's great to hear how much you're enjoying it here (pretty great huh!). Good idea. We'll explore the idea of significant others attending key top performer events, our goals have been to try to keep them team oriented, but maybe we can mix it up every once in while. You nailed it, want to make a difference? Want to be a part of a great team? Want to have fun? Want to make some good $$? And don't mind working hard (only M-F too), with perks, perks, perks. This place is the real-deal. But, you're right, we have very high standards, on purpose to keep it amazing. So, any amazing people out there, please check us out and apply! Thanks again! Greg Bland
