Pros

Best reasons to work for Zillow include working with very bright and talent people, under exceptional great leaders such as the founders and managers. Zillow potential long-term upside is very clear to me. It has a very strong solid foundation allowing it to grows much bigger than it is today. This foundation includes successful experienced top rate management team, amazingly smart and hard working employees. Together, the people at Zillow has a working process to build, upgrade and improve products that can attract customers without spending advertising money. The products such as Zestimate and Mortgage Market place are fundamental bases for many product expansions to attract many visitors to the Zillow website.

Cons

Small start up company with high risk of not turning profitability within expected time line.

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.
