Pros

There’s nothing positive I have to say about Zillow.

Cons

Employees are treated as if they’re disposable & the whole “Zillow Cares” theme has no substance. Meaning the core values that are portrayed on the surface, aren’t the ones they represent. The interview process is poorly designed and crammed into a small window of time and don’t provide enough time for potential candidates to ask any questions.

Pros

Good benefits. They hired me at one pay scale then a few months later they dropped pay around 30% and upped metrics. So only a pro if you enjoy being lied to. Get to WFH a few days a week but there are people that don’t have to. But we have to work in office?

Cons

It’s the lying to us that is tough to swallow. They will preach rainbows and butterflies but literally everyone from top performers down are always on edge worries about their jobs. Even the managers freak out because upper management are flat out liars. They lie to your face without concern and then wrap it in some little bow. You are a warm butt in a chair here. They will act like everything is really special but loyalty means nothing to them. They have been dropping people like flies ever since I got here. Micro managment is the name of the game here. So if you like high pressure this is for you. If you enjoy losing sleep because your job is looming over your head regardless of how well you do. The whole sales floor is scared. They literally just fired a guy yesterday on the same day as his cancer diagnosis and he closed 7 loans in February. Everyone is talking about it. We are all dumbfounded. He was the guy always cheerleading Zillow. You better ask about that in your interview. Loyalty isn’t a recognized thing here. So just be aware before you accept the position that’s what you’re walking into. So when they tell you #dotherightthing it’s a bowl full of lies and you better get a spoon cause you’ve got a lot of them to eat.

Pros

Loved the people. The team, the work environment, the culture - all were wonderful. Really preached work life balance and upper management practiced what they preached. Great benefits

Cons

Found out about layoffs via the news, rather than from Zillow itself. Misrepresented the success of our program and told us over and over again that we were irreplaceable, and then came layoffs.
