Pros

Senior leadership is amazing. They take culture very seriously and genuinely strive to make Pacaso a great place to work. They obviously have a great product to sell.

Cons

Having been founded by ex-Zillow execs, the company is heavily loaded with zillow employees. It seems as though Zillow was cherry-picked and so you may feel very much outside of the circle if you're not coming from Zillow. A recent employee said to me, "Is it a popularity contest here? It feels like a popularity contest." I tend to agree.

Thank you for this thoughtful review. I appreciate you recognizing how important culture is to our long-term success. To address your comments on the Zillow representation - I agree that we started out with a lot of former Zillow representation and that we can do better on this front in the future. Diversity of experience is really important to us, and I’m happy that our percentage of former Zillow talent has gone down significantly as we've grown the company over the past year. We have crew members that come from a wide breath of industries and backgrounds, so I believe we are headed in the right direction. Please reach out to your HR Business Partner or me directly to share specific feedback around your experience if there is something we could be doing to continue to build a more inclusive environment. Thanks again for this review and for being part of our Crew! Austin, Co-Founder and CEO

Pros

I LOVE Pacaso! I've sold for a few companies before landing at Pacaso, and this is the first one where I don't have to mentally translate the pitch into something I believe. The product solves a real problem, customers feel it the moment they understand it, and that makes everything about the job easier. What stands out most is how much the company invests in us. Sales leadership is in the trenches — coaching, removing roadblocks, actually listening when reps flag what's working and what isn't. Enablement is thoughtful, not just a slide deck dumped on you in week one. And the broader org (marketing, ops, product) shows up like teammates, not gatekeepers. That kind of cross-functional buy-in is rare, and it makes the difference between grinding and actually building a book. The culture is the other thing I'd call out. People here care — about the customer, about each other, about doing the work the right way. Values come up in real conversations, not just at all-hands. There's competition on the team in the best way: everyone's pushing, but everyone's also rooting for each other to win. And the mission matters. We're redefining a category that's been stuck for decades, and customers can tell we're doing it for the right reasons. That changes the conversation. You're not pushing — you're helping people get to something they actually want. It's not without its hard days. Real estate is real estate, and a growing company means you're building the plane in the air more often than not. But I'm genuinely grateful to be here, working with people I respect, on something that feels bigger than just hitting a number.

Cons

It's a fast-moving company, which means priorities can shift and processes are still being built in real time. If you need a fully paved road and predictable rhythms, this probably isn't the season for you. If you're energized by helping build the playbook while you're running it, you'll thrive!!

Pros

The people are the biggest standout. Smart, low-ego teammates who care about getting it right and lift each other up across functions. Leadership is strong and accessible, with a clear strategic point of view and a willingness to invest in their teams. The pace is fast and the work is meaningful. You get real cross-functional exposure and your work has a visible impact on the owner experience and the business. If you want to be challenged and you like building alongside great people, it is a great place to be.

Cons

As with any high-growth company, processes and systems are still evolving. Some workflows and tools are maturing in real time, which means you have to be comfortable building the plane while flying it. There is also ambiguity that comes with a fast-changing environment, and priorities can shift as the company scales. None of this is a dealbreaker, but it helps to come in with a builder mindset and a tolerance for change.
