Pros
Fantastic training, management team, and environment. Ample opportunity to move around the company. Career oriented sales organization. Innovative and committed to growth.
Cons
Comp changes constantly in the wrong direction. The sales organization beat expectations and they were rewarded with twice the competition and a worse compensation plan. They gave us a base pay raise but the commission pay out has been cut in halve over the last 3 years. There is a inverse incentive to become a senior account manager or executive.
Advice to Management
Give us a better comp plan that motivates and your people will perform better. I honestly believe the intention was to move compensation in a positive direction. However, the math isn’t working out.

Pros
Great work life balance, great compensation, great opportunity to make as much as you want. Great work culture, amazing benefits....plus a lot more.
I'm writing this review because I've worked in the Seattle sales office for a while now and shocked to read all the comments about have to work over 40 hours a week in order to make quota. Which is NOT TRUE!!! I think our quota's are more than reasonable and most decent worker in sales usually surpass their quota about 120% if not higher.
If you feel like you need to work more than 40 hours in order to hit quota, you're probably not cut out for sales or this is not the right job for you. That's just being brutally honest. I've worked in sales for over 12 yrs for many different companies and Zillow is probably one of the best ones with low stress, great work life balance and still have potential to make a lot of money.
Of course you have to work HARD though, I honesty work less than 40 hours a week and sales managers don't mind. As long as you keep your numbers up and hit quota which is very achievable you get full autonomy and if you want to leave a little early on a Friday its totally OK!
Cons
Can't think of anything, keep up the good work!

Pros
Fast paced company always trying to be the first through the window when an opportunity presents itself. Great perks, fresh fruit brought in 2x/week from pike place market, free coffee, snacks and catered lunches a couple times/week. AWESOME people! From the CEO on down to my sales team.
Cons
It's a grueling job. 100+ phone calls/day makes it easy to get burned out.
Advice to Management
Keep innovating and listening to your employees and you'll find continued success.

I have been working at Zillow full-time
Pros
Awesome benefits, great work/life balance, collaborative/innovative culture
Cons
Now that we're getting bigger (3,000+ employees) reorgs are happening in some departments (much like Microsoft), which can make your role vastly different than what you were hired for. This can make it hard to make a career path for yourself.
In particular, I'd be wary of Brand Marketing. Two reorgs in the past 9 months and leadership is struggling to keep up morale.

Pros

Cons
Can become very stressful as sales usually are.
