Pros

-Extremely transparent company, I always look forward to hearing how and what the company as a whole is working on. It's extremely important and meaningful to hear how your role fits into the company's overall vision and what other groups are learning or experimenting with. -You get to work on exciting products and there is so much room for improvement and new ideas yet to test. Zillow has maintained it's start up mentality in a good way as it's grown. -No matter your position, your opinion matters and is listened to. -Inspiring, humble and approachable servant leadership. -Women are in many high level positions and they actively support and encourage women in tech -Great work/life balance -Collaborative, warm and fun culture. The recent Engineer in Training day for kids was awesome and they have a ton other events on a monthly basis. Especially like the Ztalks where we have executives from other companies come to talk to our employees. -Incredible benefits (especially the increased maternity benefits and increased 401k match)

Cons

-Salary for tech jobs seems like it needs to be more competitive to compete in Seattle's market. I worry about losing some of our great developers to other companies. -Stock options are basically worthless, we need to switch to RSUs.

Because most people work remote, sometimes it can be hard to meet immediately to chat.

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. We understand that frequent changes to roles, account ownership and business priorities can have a real impact on relationship-building and the day-to-day experience in sales. We’re glad to hear compensation was a positive part of your time at Zillow, and we appreciate you being candid about where the model and structure felt frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand how these changes are experienced across teams as the business evolves.
