I'm glad to hear that you had some positive experiences at Zillow. In terms of career advancement, we put a lot of effort into career pathing and helping people find new opportunities within the company. When hiring, we always look at internal candidates, promoting from within whenever possible.

Pros

Popular Brand. Interesting industry. Room for improvement. Great parties. Industry leader. Growing. Diverse workplace. Nationwide. Multiple brands.

Cons

Basically another company that owes it's existence to Google Maps. Its a good company, but there are people doing cooler things with their time. Also, lots of typical tech bro culture and perhaps age bias.

Thanks for the review. We work hard to make sure that we're solving meaningful problems in the real world. Buying, selling, and renting are all important processes that impact millions of people but they all have plenty of room for improvement. If you have ideas -- even crazy ones -- on how to solve these big problems, I'd encourage you to leverage our quarterly innovation weeks to test them out. We've had a pretty good track record of graduating many of these ideas into projects that impact our millions of users. We pride ourselves on having and maintaining a diverse workplace. Hiring and retaining employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences drives our innovation and decision-making processes. With regard to your comment on our culture, I encourage you to connect with me or your HRBP to see if there is anything we can do to make Zillow Group an even better place to work. ZG is a Team Sport. Dan, VP Rentals

Pros

You learn how to be a sales professional while having fun. The ability to make 6 figures. There is never a dull moment and they give you lots of benefits and spiffs.

Cons

Too many politics, promoting is not merit based and favoritism is a part of the job in some aspects. The company has a lot of links to work out and hopefully soon. Management should be trained before appointed to management. Your success can be determined by your manager and/or your region which are both out of your control.

Thank you for the review. We are glad to hear you find both the culture and financial opportunity as positive aspects of our business. Regarding career pathing and promotions, our approach is focused as much on performance and skill set as it is exhibition of our company values. I am curious to hear more about your experience; specifically pertaining to promotions not being merit based and suggestions you have regarding the continued development of our leadership team. Please feel free to pull me aside on the sales floor or schedule some time to discuss your feedback. Thanks again for your review. Steve Capezza – Senior Director, Orange County Sales
