      Fun culture, with a great work-life ballance

      Pros

      The company culture is relaxed and fun. The people are passionate about their work without being over-driven. I feel like I have an impact, which is very impressive in a medium-large company. Zillow has many morale events with great food and drinks. Zillow often hosts major influencers in business and politics to speak and answer questions, which can be very interesting. Free espresso drinks, anytime!

      Cons

      Not as nimble as some smaller companies, but for the size they are more nimble than can be expected.

      Great place to work - but there are limits

      Pros

      Great benefit package, phenomenal colleagues, and lots of free food. Plus, getting to be part of something really big and really cool; bringing transparency in real estate to everyone, not just the most educated or with the most to gain. Executive staff really pushes "zillow culture" and funds lunches, speakers, and events to keep it going. In Lincoln, the food is usually from local restaurants instead of the national chains. The speakers are typically leaders of well known companies, political figures, or amazing people doing amazing things. A recent speaker was from a non profit building schools in Africa. It's also cool that in such a huge company the top brass are very accessible, friendly, and really care about the workers doing the entry level jobs. I've emailed the CEO, Spencer, and actually received a friendly response in return. I don't think you'll find that at most companies, especially one the size of Zillow.

      Cons

      Working in a small office outside Seattle, I feel like I'm unable to be promoted or change roles because of the limited jobs and job types in my office. I'm hearing about the tremendous growth of the company all the time, but I'm not seeing it in my office and I'm not seeing it in the way of expanded opportunities for me or fellow co-workers. To take the next step in my career, I'll probably have to leave Zillow.

      Thank you for your feedback. And thank you for calling me accessible -- I appreciate it! As you probably know, I am very excited about our opportunity for Mortech and Zillow Mortgages, and the Lincoln NE office is an important part of Zillow's future success. We are in the process of implementing a “3-day internal job post” for newly created positions – our HR/Recruiting team will be sending out communication around this shortly. The hope here is that all internal employees will get first consideration before we go out to the general public. And, we want to encourage inter-office movement now that we have multiple locations. (For example, a designer and PR person both just moved from our Seattle office to our New York Streeteasy office.) There are some promotions that occur without a job posting. In these cases, the employee is progressing through their career, and we are acknowledging their increased skills and responsibilities through a promotion. In situations like this, we wouldn't typically post this as a position that others are eligible for consideration. Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you are enjoying your time at Zillow.

      Heres what its REALLY like working as a sales rep at Zillow

      Inside sales consultant

      Pros

      So the culture, benefits package, commission structure perks are great. A co-worker put it best "You get to be yourself here". If anyone gets me going about my job I usually can't stop talking for 20 minutes. Most people eventually respond with "It almost sounds like you're making it up". The management treats the employees with respect and have all done your job before, so the advice/help/coaching all comes from experience and they are super supportive. This place is truly amazing and you do get to be a part of a company that is consistently breaking records and winning month after month. The culture values doing the right thing, enriching the lives of the employees and clients we work with and nobody (Sales or management) is above this "no jerks, support your coworkers" culture all the way up to the top.

      Cons

      This job isn't for everybody. The people who shine are VERY competitive and driven, and put 100% into their work EVERY day. You have to really WANT this to be here. You don't have to put in more than 40-50 hours, but you do need to work HARD and keep a cheetah pace. If you want the payoff, you need to spend all your time on the phone. (It's like they expect you to work hard to make a lot of money, what a concept right?!?) This is a DREAM job if you are willing to put in the work, but there are no shortcuts to being successful in this position and people who can't stay focused on the long term career picture and get stuck in the day to day grind may find it difficult to keep pace.
