      Pros

      Great pay and benefits, excellent tools, free snacks and coffee, good healthcare and stock options. Corp app infrastructure is solid. People are usually helpful and supportive when you have questions even across orgs.

      Cons

      Zillow 2.0 is driving people far too hard. There is a tangible change at the company toward tighter budgets, which has resulted in significantly more workload per person without wanting the spend on appropriate staffing levels. (While the equity and belonging team is doing great) I also feel more expendable as Zillow 2.0 moves forward. Despite transparency being a core value, management in my org makes major personnel decisions without opening positions to the whole org, causing employees at other sites to be left behind and the whole process to become very political and unfair. Transparency is only valued on a technical level, not a people level in my org. Politics have frequently influenced decisions about major systems changes, and when to spend budget even when the equipment is badly needed.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review, as you know we are moving fast in our transition to Zillow 2.0 and I realize that this pace can sometimes be challenging. The 2.0 model is driving more analysis of our spend however we continue to grow our team and increase the investment in our technology stack annually and while we always strive to post roles internally, we can continue to improve on our transparency. I appreciate your feedback, if you would like to discuss more, please feel free to reach out to me directly. -Toby tobyro@zillowgroup.com

      Great company; Poor Sales Environment

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Outstanding Benefits There are worse places to work Financial Opportunity (If you’re good) Some nice people Great work life balance Great culture company; but not on the sales floor

      Cons

      “Never good enough environment” Management, while nice, is questionable. There is a A TON of change and turnover. An absolute TON, which is concerning; Especially when it’s a Vice President in the office. Cliquey environment with certain groups in the office “Fake” tech environment- the sales area is equivalent to a call center. It’s frowned upon to take breaks and you’re not encouraged to leave your desk, regardless of your performance. The product is overpriced in certain markets. There aren’t many individuals who have been here more than 2 years There is no HR person in the office; I believe she quit

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We focus quite a bit on creating a great financial opportunity, delivering on fantastic benefits and enabling a healthy work/life balance. I am glad to hear that focus is reflected in your experience. Regarding some of the areas you cite as opportunities, change is a constant in the business of real estate, technology, software and high growth businesses. Zillow Group happens to be involved in all of those and more. Therefore, as a sales professional representing our business, that is something you sign up for when you join the team. One outcome of changes in product, go to market strategies, sales organization design and leadership (all of which you would have experienced as an Account Executive in New York the first half of the year) can be turnover. Sales professional success and retention is of utmost importance to our team. It is a constant focus. Unfortunately, we have seen greater degrees of turnover as of late but we will see that turn around as we progress thoughtfully into what is a very bright future. The feedback on transparency is very useful. We have started "Ask Me Anything" sessions in each of our sales offices, which will run at least once a quarter, designed to keep the team aligned on our business strategy/progression. Regarding leadership and the sales floor environment, we are a team that strives to deliver a culture of accountability, collaboration and creativity. It sounds like your experience counters that focus. I would love to hear more so if you have more to share please email me at stevec@zillowgroup.com. Thank you again for the feedback and best of luck with your future endeavors. Steve Capezza - Vice President, Zillow Premier Agent Sales

      Pros

      -career development is priority -leadership is best of the best, truly. Sure you’ll encounter managers that may not be great, but typically, they are fantastic. -benefits package is great -I do actually feel like my work is valued -I’ve grown and learned more in my tenure at Zillow than 6+ years at another company/field -people people people

      Cons

      -they move fast. Sometimes it’s a giant mess and leaves a lot of people in the dust. -sometimes management is so caught up in their stuff that they barely notice their team

      Thank you for taking the time to write this review and for your valuable feedback. We are very focused on both career development and leadership so it it makes me especially happy when employees feel the benefits of our efforts. As for our speed, yes, we do move fast. Very fast. BUT that is one of the truly unique things about Zillow - we are never standing still. It is definitely an environment where those whose thrive off of change are best suited. There are always new learnings and experiences to be had. Susan Daimler, SVP Premier Agent
