Pros

Zillow Group is an absolutely incredible company to work for! The company culture is immersive and they put a heavy focus on employee satisfaction. Some of the perks are great vacation and sick time, stock options, company events, monthly happy hours, annual ZG week in Seattle and the list goes on... Zillow also makes it easy for employees at any level to communicate with their managers and executive- level employees. There is never a sense of complacency across the organization. A sense of urgency is always prevalent when it comes to innovation and ensuring that Zillow is taking into consideration their Mission Statement (build the largest, most-trusted, and vibrant home-related marketplace in the world) in every avenue of their business before implementing new ventures. Zillow Group is in a state of constant Flux and will continue to seek nothing less than perfection in its endeavor to become the industry leader for home buyers, sellers, renters and real estate agents seeking to grow their business exponentially.

Cons

Zillow is still growing at a rapid rate so there are times within the sales org where processes and compensation feel like they are not as dialed in as they should be. Things can be more streamlined and efficient to reduce stress on sales associates and their client base.

Pros

Fantastic training, management team, and environment. Ample opportunity to move around the company. Career oriented sales organization. Innovative and committed to growth.

Cons

Comp changes constantly in the wrong direction. The sales organization beat expectations and they were rewarded with twice the competition and a worse compensation plan. They gave us a base pay raise but the commission pay out has been cut in halve over the last 3 years. There is a inverse incentive to become a senior account manager or executive.
