Recruitment, interview and offer process for Zillow

Anonymous employee

Pros

My overall recruitment process with Zillow was very pleasant as well as shockingly quick. The total time from phone screen to offer spanned just under 4 weeks, and the winter holidays took place during that time, so it probably would have been even quicker. My recruiter was responsive, knowledgeable and very kind. I felt like my recruiter was really motivated for me to have a good experience. When an offer was made, the details were clear and the aspects that had wiggle room to negotiate were also made clear. On top of a very competitive offer, the CEO sent me a personal note and we exchanged some emails about the company - a really nice touch.

Cons

The only negative in the process, and this is small, is the number of handlers I interfaced with during the process. From beginning to end, there were 3 individuals who helped me through the process and it wasn't always clear who my main point of contact was. Again, this is small stuff, but it would have been nice to know upfront the different roles to set my expectations.

Thank you so much for your feedback on the recruiting process! I am glad it was a positive experience and that you are enjoying your time at Zillow so far. I think your specific feedback on number of "handlers" in the process is actually quite interesting and is a small area of refinement we could work on to make sure candidates know who is their point person. Good stuff! Thank you. Annie Rihn

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. I'm sorry your experience at Zillow hasn't been as positive as you'd hoped. In order to address your concerns specifically, we'd need to know the division for which you work. That way, we'd have the proper context with which to respond. Please email me at dougs@zillow.com and I'd be happy to address your concerns personally. Doug Slotkin VP, Local Ad Sales

Pros

Everything. My boss is awesome, my boss's boss is awesome, ... the CEO is awesome. The views are amazing, the free food/snacks/drinks are great, and the benefits are great. I'm surrounded by smart people, and am constantly learning. Little red-tape and no business politics allow for us to immediately benefit the company and have a huge impact. I love my job. -p.s.: there are treadmill desks, a candy wall, ping pong tables, and a video game room!

Cons

From what I hear, it's pretty hard to make it in the Sales department. I'm more of a software developer, so we sort-of escape that kind of pressure. Also, we could use more bathrooms. But if that's the only complaint I can think of- I think Zillow is doing fine.
