      Pros

      Great work, working on high impact teams (as a software engineer). Lots of flexibility and management is very good about being flexible but also making sure you get your work done. STRONG emphasis on good work life balance!

      Cons

      Some of the RSU/Stock option compensations are lacking but they're in the process of fixing that. Benefits and pay are good, but could be better!

      Thanks for your feedback. I am glad you are feeling that you are able to have a high impact. We purposefully structure our small product teams to provide this. If you have ideas on how we can make these teams work better, please come find me in the office and share. Our stock, along with the entire market, has been down some lately, but with a long term approach we are focusing on the right things to help the business grow. If we execute well, the stock should follow. That said, I am glad we have rolled out a unique RSU/option choice program that gives employees choice. Again, thanks for your feedback and hard work making Zillow successful. David Beitel, Zillow Group CTO

      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.
