Pros

Compensation and culture. Can easily make 6 figures on the inside sales floor. Great people and exciting company to work for.

Cons

Upward mobility is limited especially pertaining to the sales floor. It is hard to move into management or vertically into other departments.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm glad the experience has been positive and I wanted to address your concerns. While it is competitive to earn promotions, there are literally 100 + people who've driven great results in Inside sales and we're promoted to either sales management, in-market sales, field sales and account management leadership. We always look to promote from within; all of the 22 sales managers on our team excelled as front line sales people, earning the opportunity to lead a team. We do look closely at sales activity to help our people achieve to their potential. Recently, we allowed veterans beyond the 6-month mark autonomy as it relates to call time requirements and I think if you asked most people on our team, they would tell you that they feel empowered to manage their day. We believe that people autonomy but we always are striving to improve the customer experience and that does entail the review of customer feedback and helping our people improve accordingly. Continued success at Zillow and if you'd like to discuss your progression further, I'd like to talk to you. Doug Slotkin VP, Local Ad Sales

Pros

The exec team tries very hard to make employees feel empowered + part of something broader. The company is on track to do phenomenal things. People who work here are smart, motivated and certain teams have incredible cohesion (especially dev teams).

Cons

It can be cliquish within depts/teams -- I.e. certain people manage all forward-facing projects. Immediate management is not always great -- further trainings and support for managers should be provided in teaching them how to encourage great work from their reports. Some work-life practices should be instilled within departments -- Particularly encouragement to take a sick day rather than WFH, regular lunch breaks, etc. This sort of balance needs to be modeled by immediate managers to create a trickle-down effect of a better environment for all.

Thank you for the review and the feedback. I definitely agree that we could do a better job of manager training, and this is something that we are working on. Corina (and the whole Learning & Development function) are working on this. Thank you for the comments!

Pros

Besides the typically perks you get working at a tech company, (free food, weekly HH's, offsite events, etc) the overall culture here is awesome! I can honestly say the best part of working here is my coworkers. People come from various backgrounds, and I dig the diversity! Everyone is really smart, respectful and overall just a fun group to be around. Also, we have a good gender ratio here (as a female, that's pretty important to me) which can be difficult in tech companies. Also, dog friendly = awesome!

Cons

Trying to keep track of all the new people getting hired!

Thank you for your great review of Zillow and the San Francisco office. I'm glad you are enjoying our culture and smart diverse coworkers. I agree it is great to see so many female tech folks, particularly in San Francisco!
