Pros

Great location and benefits. It can be a fun atmosphere but successful sales staff rarely are able to participate in the events. Too busy trying to hit quota to enjoy "Z-Life".

Cons

It seems that you must be a male to be promoted, regardless of experience or production. Very little work/life balance in sales positions. I worked a ridiculous amount of overtime without receiving compensation because it was necessary and encouraged.

Thanks for your review. While hitting targets is challenging we have number of resources and tools to help our sales team be successful. We also have a number of processes to catch bias in the hiring, promotion, and compensation practices of the company. I am concerned with your comments regarding overtime. We have clear policies against working unpaid overtime, and if you were asked to work overtime we want to be sure you were properly compensated. Please reach out to me at dans@zillowgroup.com and I will look into any of the concerns that you mentioned.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
