      Pros

      * Very talented coworkers * A lot of opportunities to build new and fascinating products and data * Great environment * There are career opportunities in the traditional roles, not so much in others

      Cons

      * Very limited intra-team communication, some teams treat their areas as silos * Expertise of some employees not utilized to its fullest, leaving some very smart people wondering

      Good feedback about intra-team communication. The planning team meetings and the "what's going on" emails are supposed to help with this, but you're right that we could do better at this. Thank you for pushing me on this.

      The toughest sales job I've ever had.

      Pros

      Lots of perks- free snacks, drinks and gatherings. Benefits package is good and they offer stock as well.

      Cons

      Long hours with no breaks. There's an expectation of 200 calls a day which is made very clear. They hire a ton of sales folks all at once with the expectation that most will quit.

      Hi, Spencer (ceo) here. You are right that we have very high expectations of our people. We don't however expect that most of our new salespeople will quit! That's definitely not the expectation nor is it our hope! We do a much better job of onboarding and training new salespeople now than we did in the past, though I'm sure we could do better. The biggest challenge for new salespeople is that they don't have any existing clients from whom to draw positive experiences with our product. Once a salesperson gets a few dozen successful clients under his/her belt, then the job gets so much easier. Still challenging, but much easier.

      Pros

      I can't say enough good things about Zillow. The original founders and current leadership have infused the company with a passion beyond that of any other company I'm aware of. I believe we have a really great vision and an incredible about of growth potential ahead of us, and that makes the company so much fun to work out. Employees are treated very, very well, we have a really fun culture, we're paid well enough and have stock options that continue to grow, and we're still at that perfect size where a single employee can make a really big difference in the company as a whole.

      Cons

      Pay for engineers at least seems to be a bit below what other employers pay. You probably won't get a salary offer that matches one from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or the like. That said, if you ask me, working at such a neat company w/ insane growth and potential for career advancement makes the tradeoff worth it.

      Thank you for your review! I'm so glad that you're having a great experience at Zillow. I agree that we need to keep guarding against the creeping forces of mediocrity. We must never become a "rest-and-vest" culture. We all know companies like that, and they always fail in the end. Not on my watch! Please use the 360-degree review process to flag any performance issues you see. You can also always anonymously email me through the "Zillow Talk Blog" on the zwiki. Thank you!
