Pros

The pay is decent, commission potential great! My manager was super hot!

Cons

Low inventory making it unfair for a newer employee to build a book of business. It feels like a total grind everyday.

Pros

1) Leadership is fantastic 2) Work is challenging 3) Coworkers are authentic and caring 4) Massive opportunity for growth 5) Benefits are getting better --- namely, 401k match, maternity leave

Cons

I truly love working at Zillow. As the company grows, there is certainly a bit more red tape and process. This can be challenging. However, leadership is aware of this and makes an effort to combat this.

Thank you for the review. Yes, I am definitely aware of the challenges that we face as we grow. And I am committed to minimizing red tape and process (except where helpful!). We have to remain nimble and keep acting like a startup in order to stay ahead. I've always said that "startup" is a state of mind. A company doesn't stop being a startup when it reaches a certain size; it stops being a startup when it stops moving quickly. I think that Zillow, despite being > 1000 employees, can and will still act like a startup -- move fast, think big (one of our Core Values).

Pros

The people are smart and driven. Problems are tackled collaboratively and successes are celebrated before the next goal is tackled. I love that an environment of continual learning is encouraged, from bringing in speakers to sharing tech and industry info via email. I feel like work-life balanced is encouraged as people seem focused on work at work, and then communication slows way down after 5pm and on the weekends. It is great!

Cons

I can't think of one at this time.
