Pros

I've been with Zillow a little over 2 and a half months now. However it feels like I've been here forever?! It's definitely a good kind of feeling - people here are so friendly that you make friends right off the bat. More importantly, the employees who have been here for a while are extremely experienced and have so much knowledge to offer that there's always something new to learn everyday - it's never ending! It's an open atmosphere where people challenge each other and valuable information is translated across and created on a daily basis. Besides, there's no better way to enjoy all the awesome free food over great conversations with none other than your fellow Zcolleagues - it's the people that make Zillow great.

Cons

None at all! But we should have instructions on how to change the milk / empty grounds at the Starbucks machine for newbies like me! And YES - I googled it and am proud of it!

Pros

Great people to work with and great benefits. Speakers come in from other companies to share their ideas and values which I have never experienced elsewhere. Very cool place to work

Cons

I have had one annual review so far and although I got a glowing review my pay increase was well under the national average for 2015. Also, my managers were not able to tell me why my pay increase was so low. So while Zillow prides themselves in being transparent, I have not clue about performance and how I have been evaluated. This makes for a really frustrating outlook in 2015.

At Zillow, we pride ourselves on ensuring that all employees have a clear view around what is expected regarding both performance and compensation for specific job functions. Account Managers in our Sales organization have targets and incentives which we believe are clear and fair. We do appreciate your point of view on this area, and will consider it as we think about changes in the future. Also, feel free to work with your manager or HR Business Partner for more guidance on opportunities to grow and earn more in the organization. Tony Small VP, Sales Strategy
