Pros

Great leadership. Management is all very approachable and really tries to advocate for their employes. Everyone's ideas and needs are listened to and put to action. The executives are engaging to listen to. Even in a room of a thousand people they make their speeches feel personable. The hiring process is really thorough, but if you get a job here you'll see why. Everybody that works at this company is a perfect fit with their team. Zillow sees the importance of company culture and does a great job of making sure that their employes work well together. I believe that everyone on my team genuinely likes one another. There are a lot of perks for working here, and HR is striving to make them even better. Can't wait for the 401k matching to start.

Cons

I think people on the sales team have way too much pressure on them and it trickles down to others.

Thank you for the great review. I agree that the annual meeting in December helped get everyone on the same page, and also fired us up for 2015. It is a huge investment in time, energy and money, but it is worth it. Getting 1000+ Zillowites all together in person for a few days to talk about the company, our goals, our culture, and our strategy is very important. Thank you for being here, and for contributing positively to our core values.

Pros

-Ridiculously fast growth and fantastic culture. -Hack week is probably the most fun I've had in my software dev career. -The people around me are the best balance of passionate, fun, yet professional that I've worked with in the industry. -There's always a lot of interesting work to do and problems to solve, but I'm still able to consistently work 40-45 hours a week.

Cons

Not quite elite compensation package, The company seems to be trying to hire the top candidates, but offered a smaller comp package than what I was offered from Twitter and Facebook, and no free (daily) meals or parking.

Pros

great start up mentality. awesome perks. primo location. everything is fun all the time outside of your grind. this of course was 2 years ago.

Cons

the turnover rate is very depressing. it is hard to stay focused when people are vanishing left and right. if you can handle that, and you can sell, you can be very happy.

My name is Doug Slotkin and I run the Inside Sales organization - I likely interacted with you a couple of years ago when you were at Zillow. The training, to your point, has improved in terms of duration, breadth of content and amount of ongoing support we provide to new sales people. The turnover rate is absolutely something we are working to improve and actually, it has improved since you left Zillow. In terms of fun, the majority of the 250 sales people at Zillow are seeing some level of success - many folks earning well into six figures - These folks would tell you that in addition to the perks and great office spaces, there's one major driver which keeps sales people happy at Zillow: They are proud to represent a product that works so well for so many agents/brokers and one that has helped them develop big books of business over the years.
