Pros

Highly collaborative, driven and supportive work environment that rewards its employees for the effort they put in. There are few opportunities left in this world where you truly get out what you put in - both monetarily and psychologically.

Cons

There are no easy big money jobs. You have to earn your paycheck.

Pros

Great work life balance, great compensation, great opportunity to make as much as you want. Great work culture, amazing benefits....plus a lot more. I'm writing this review because I've worked in the Seattle sales office for a while now and shocked to read all the comments about have to work over 40 hours a week in order to make quota. Which is NOT TRUE!!! I think our quota's are more than reasonable and most decent worker in sales usually surpass their quota about 120% if not higher. If you feel like you need to work more than 40 hours in order to hit quota, you're probably not cut out for sales or this is not the right job for you. That's just being brutally honest. I've worked in sales for over 12 yrs for many different companies and Zillow is probably one of the best ones with low stress, great work life balance and still have potential to make a lot of money. Of course you have to work HARD though, I honesty work less than 40 hours a week and sales managers don't mind. As long as you keep your numbers up and hit quota which is very achievable you get full autonomy and if you want to leave a little early on a Friday its totally OK!

Cons

Can't think of anything, keep up the good work!

Pros

Great pay, benefits, open kitchen on multiple floors, friendly atmosphere, safe place to work, opportunity to create something new or start a project with a team, game room a plus, amenities were great!

Cons

Leaving a department is incredibly hard, movement in the company is difficult, department leads play favorite, people 'work' the system to cheat and meet goals, lots of gossip. Can feel very isolating, and work life balance in some departments is unfair. You have to pay to park at your own job daily.

I'm glad you found so many things to love about your time at Zillow. I agree our benefits and physical workspace is top notch. I also agree that sometimes movement within the company can be challenging, because we have so many talented and experience employees, the competition is tight. Which is why we launch our Employee Career Owner's Manual project last year, and gave our team members tons of great info on how to progress, and the different kinds of progression one has over the course of the career. To your comment about "cheating", I take that very seriously and if you have examples or more detail on that, please reach out to me directly jrg@zillowgroup.com. -JR Gast, VP Client Experience.
