      Pros

      Great culture. This includes cool events like “Hackweek,” a week-long event held three times a year where we get to work on our own projects. Happy hours, team building events, game room, cook-offs, etc. Smart people. Continually impressed by my colleagues. Interesting work. This is because of the company size: small enough to make an impact but large enough to be secure. Great management (this is huge!). I personally see little politics within the team. Lots of autonomy. Hours are okay. No need to work every weekend.

      Cons

      Pay and benefits very below average for industry. No annual bonus (at least in my org). Stock tanked, leaving some employees with worthless options. It's a big source of discontent and the reason why some have left or are leaving for companies next door like Amazon, Google, Tableau. Unclear path for advancement within the company. No training. Employees are expected to learn on their own outside of work hours.

      Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you are generally happy here. We are taking a comprehensive view of market comp at annual review this year, and I'm interested to hear how you feel about compensation after this. Feel free to reach out to me directly, or address here. Making sure people feel appreciated and fairly compensated is very important to us! Best -- Amy (COO)

      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.
