Pros

Great web site, cool office space, free energy drinks and snacks. Co-workers are smart and all work hard. Free lunch on Fridays, catered in.

Cons

Management is narcissism on steroids - they made up the kool aid and drank it and shove it down everyone elses throat. The hype is all day long, lots of stupid pep rally type meetings. 10 hr days plus and encouraged, public scoffing at under achievers, You sit next to people who haven't sold anything all day yet their numbers say differently. If you can keep up hype you have a chance to do well, if you even look tired or disheartened, you are on your way out.

Pros

This is a great company that has grand vision to revolutionize the real estate industry --- an industry that is relatively later in embracing internet than others such as travel, brokerage and shopping. A great company lives for a vision, a good company lives for competition. By far Zillow is the best and most promising start-up in the great Seattle region.

Cons

There is always risk there for a start-up. There is a trade-off between the long term potential v.s. short-term reward. We are all learning how to run a successful start-up especially at the down time of the global market. The success of a start-up depends on each of its employees.

Pros

Competitive base pay and valuable company benefits and perks.

Cons

I started with 30 new hires, and when I was fired, there were 15 people left. They use a cohort-based hiring model with performance-driven retention. Employees are expected to achieve at least 70% of their monthly quota. If performance falls below that threshold, they are placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP). Failure to recover and meet quota expectations within three months may result in termination.

Thank you for your review. We're glad compensation and benefits stood out as positives during your time here. We also hear you that the pace and pressure of a sales environment can be a lot, especially early in a role. Transparency and support throughout that process matter, and your feedback is a reminder of where we can keep improving.
