Pros

I can honestly say that this is the BEST company to work for. No, I am not just saying that. I know that we recently went through a big merger with Trulia and Zillow, and it was very hectic at first. Now that things have slowed down, I can see why Zillow is the #1 real estate website and why employees love working here. Yes, with any large company, it's impossible to make everyone happy, but overall theme is that employees love coming to work, love what they do and Zillow treats everyone very WELL. Anyone that says different is either not working here anymore or not old enough to have a professional, business attitude, which should be required for any job you can make over 6 figures in. Here are a couple reasons why things are so great. First, compensation is world class. Given all the additional perks we receive here, subsidized medical premiums, free snacks and breakfast, GREAT PEOPLE, the best benefits ever offered and most of all, the best work hours you can ask for--those are what make Zillow so great. It baffles me, the negative comments some people put on here about this company. Those are probably former employees that haven't found another job or are so miserable in their new job, they have nothing better to do than to complain about a company they know NOTHING about. I am grateful for the opportunity given to me and I have been around in corporate America long enough to not squander it.

Cons

Only downside is: I wish significant others were allowed to attend award functions. I thought and thought about this and I honestly can't find another downside.

Thank you for this incredible feedback. It's great to hear how much you're enjoying it here (pretty great huh!). Good idea. We'll explore the idea of significant others attending key top performer events, our goals have been to try to keep them team oriented, but maybe we can mix it up every once in while. You nailed it, want to make a difference? Want to be a part of a great team? Want to have fun? Want to make some good $$? And don't mind working hard (only M-F too), with perks, perks, perks. This place is the real-deal. But, you're right, we have very high standards, on purpose to keep it amazing. So, any amazing people out there, please check us out and apply! Thanks again! Greg Bland

Very collaborative team, encouraging team members and managers. Great experience overall.

Cons

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.
