Pros

Zillow's products are very cool and I firmly believe that they are making the world a better place for consumers. There are a lot of smart people working here that can be very inspiring, if they can stick it out long enough.

Cons

It's my perception that most employees in product development are viewed as easily replaceable cogs by the business team. The lack of respect for employees results in very high turnover which has obvious ramifications for morale. Equity in the company is hoarded by senior management and opportunities for advancement are virtually non-existent. The "startup" atmosphere is at best an illusion. Individuals have almost no opportunity to contribute to the product.

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.
