Pros

Most of the people are great, and you cant go wrong with the food/coffee.

Cons

I can only speak on Data Services, and if you were thinking about applying to DS, just don't. Management will ensure that you know you are at the bottom, and will go out of their way to make you remember it every day. The will gossip, openly judge you about non-work related aspects, and prevent you from ever trying to progress professionally. Zillow likes to shout that they are a great place to work, but there have been multiple occurrences where employees have tried to speak up and the result was always the same: nothing. Then based off previous comments to reviews they will reply with "we have not heard this level of feedback prior". Unless someone along the chain is purposely preventing them from hearing this feedback, then this just goes to show how hard they work to keep up this facade of a great place to work.

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.
