Pros

Dynamic company with a ubiquitous market share. There are some really talented, smart people with a lot of energy. Provides severance packages - decent of you

Cons

Salary ranges are below market Does not subsidize benefits, and they're EXPENSIVE Raises are infinitessimal. You're simply tossed more stock options with the hope you stay invested to earn them "one of these days", but.... Then lays off hundreds of passionate employees at the drop of a hat with lame cover stories that no one believes so that they don't have to call them layoffs. And just to be petty, the food at company events is dreadful, sometimes inedible.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It’s clear you experienced both the talent across the company and real frustration around compensation and incentives. We’re committed to holding ourselves to our Core Values, and your comments reflect where that experience may not have met expectations.

Pros

Fair pay. Great business domain. Stock has room to grow. Collaborative and flexible.

Cons

Culture has been influenced by AWS hires. Very political and back stabbing. Many people are secretly unhappy and want out.

Zillow, you are breaking my heart!

Pros

It’s cool working for a company with name recognition. Zillow was an innovative product with real heart. I guess Rich got what he wanted—Zillow became a verb. The Senior Directors in Rentals Sales are solid. But honestly, if they’re that good… why are they still here?

Cons

There’s nothing quite like sitting in a Zoom meeting with cameras off across the board.. or worse, watching VPs and Directors with theirs on, smirking while clearly messaging each other. It’s not subtle. The culture leans cliquey and performative, like a corporate version of the “mean girl” table. There’s a recurring pattern of men offering unsolicited advice, only to women - dressed up as being "helpful." It’s not mentorship. and it’s exhausting. As for Rentals? If job security is the goal, your best bet is selling a product that, let’s be real, isn’t actually helping anyone. I’ve heard Sales reps openly admit they wouldn’t use Zillow to find their own rental. That tells you everything. Thinking about joining? Don’t let the “Best Places to Work” badges fool you. Every org has its own flavor, and many here are run by leaders who smile through all-hands and say, “Things are great,” right before explaining why your raise won’t happen because the business is “being conservative.” If you want the truth, don’t look at the brand. Talk to someone who’s already made it out. xo.
