      In Market Rental Sales is a disaster

      Pros

      Good Benefits. Good snacks at the corporate office. That's being generous.

      Cons

      Almost to many to mention. I was let go after the sales org morphed yet again. The incompetence of upper level management is only followed by the middle manager. The rentals division is a complete disaster using, turning, burning and discarding people at an alarming rate. The two guys running the division have never sold anything. They are absolutely the worst leaders I've ever seen. How spencer can sit and let them destroy the lives of so many is inexplicable. I cannot wait until Karma comes around. Seek shelter Zillow from the legal winds a brewing. Get in line people. The docket is full

      We are disappointed that your experience at Zillow wasn't a success. Finding the path forward in a new business is demanding of iteration which we certainly have done in the rentals business. There have been many outstanding performances on the team and whats common to them is terrific activity volume, laser like focus on customer success and an entrepreneural approach. We are committed to enabling durable sales careers across all our teams including rentals, what's common to that is hitting numbers through a flexible and energetic approach and that formula is working well in rentals. Good luck in your next adventure. Greg (Chief Business Officer, Zillow Group)

      An easy-going place to work

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fun culture, smart people and good work flexibility lead to an easy-going work environment.

      Cons

      Management is very hands-off. As a consequence, life can be too easy-going at times. Sometimes the teams lack a sense of direction or urgency, there is poor transparency in how decisions are communicated, and resources are not allocated well. Finally, the SF office layout is way too divided and the elevators are terrible.

      Thanks for the review. I'm glad things are going well overall. In terms of the hands-off management comment, this is good feedback. It's sometimes tough to strike the exact right balance. We strive to trust employees to make the right decisions and aim for the right outcomes vs. micromanaging them. We certainly should feel urgency in our business as there is never a lack of work to be done. We're just getting started in rentals! While our all hands meetings are intended to address some of your concerns around providing transparency about who is doing what, stay tuned for more of this as we get into Q4. I'd like to share even more about where we're going and how we'll get there. My hope is that this helps give people greater context around how all the pieces come together. Should you have any more specific feedback though, feel free to contact me directly. Thank again. Dan Hang, VP Zillow Group Rentals

      Great Company, Great People, Great Benefits

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Everything. My boss is awesome, my boss's boss is awesome, ... the CEO is awesome. The views are amazing, the free food/snacks/drinks are great, and the benefits are great. I'm surrounded by smart people, and am constantly learning. Little red-tape and no business politics allow for us to immediately benefit the company and have a huge impact. I love my job. -p.s.: there are treadmill desks, a candy wall, ping pong tables, and a video game room!

      Cons

      From what I hear, it's pretty hard to make it in the Sales department. I'm more of a software developer, so we sort-of escape that kind of pressure. Also, we could use more bathrooms. But if that's the only complaint I can think of- I think Zillow is doing fine.
