Worst job of my career.

Pros

Plenty of excellent free food and a beautiful view of Orange County. Great guest speakers. These people are passionate about real estate and have the technology chops to back it up.

Cons

Overly aggressive inside sales team with a demanding management style. People are second to money. I was given no chance or consideration to move to another position. Very unhealthy environment with blasting music and nonstop emails to hit your numbers. Zero work/life balance. If you want to be run like a race horse then this is the place for you.

Hi, I was very disappointed to read this review because I know for certain that the sales team in Irvine is a great team and people are very happy there. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, and I will talk with our sales leadership to see if there is something we can learn from your experience. Sales is undoubtedly a hard job. Especially at the beginning when one doesn't have a roster of successful clients yet. After a few months, the job gets a lot easier once you have clients whose success you can play off of and who give you confidence in the possibilities of the product.

Pros

AMAZING benefits. Great culture, Fun workspace. Great people. Unparalleled senior leadership. I could say more, but let me just give you one example of the company putting their money (lots of it) where their mouth is: For the holiday party, the company has offered to provide a ride home or hotel room for every single employee. They insist that none of us are on the road after the party. Some companies say they care about their team. This one proves it time after time.

Cons

Company cons: not many. Job-specific cons: High stress, tons of calls, high expectations. (But here's the thing- they VERY CLEARLY outline this in the hiring process, and if you take the job knowing this and then act surprised, that's a you problem)

Thank you for the great review! I hope you had as great a time at the 2013 holiday party as I did. Sounds like you did! I'm glad you're having a good experience here, and it only gets better in sales. Once you have even more clients in your book of business, you start to realize that you're making a difference in their lives and it stops feeling like "selling" and starts feeling like "helping", which it is. Thank you for being at Zillow!

Thank you for your review. It makes me very happy to see feedback like this, especially from someone who has been here for 3+ years. As I've said at many company meetings, I worry a lot about making sure we don't change the culture now that we're bigger and publicly traded. I think we're doing a good job of guarding what made/makes Zillow special, but you can't be too careful. Thank you again.
