      Good company but not challenging

      Pros

      Wlb is awesome. People are very friendly and downtown location is good. Company is expanding quickly into new areas and growth is amazing.

      Cons

      As some others have mentioned that compensation is a bit lacking though not too much. My major gripe is that work is not very challenging. It is tedious and needs you to think about how people will use it best but from a purely engineering perspective it is not hard and doesn't meet the rigor that you expect. And you can argue that you should engineer what people want to use but sometimes I feel my skills are underutilized and getting rusty.

      Thank you for your feedback. We have a lot of interesting and challenging work going on in all our teams. Of course, at any time, and depending on the team, there is a balance of various types of investment in new features and technologies as well as maintenance on existing systems. Some of this work might seem tedious at times, but it is all part of investing in our products and supporting our business. I strongly encourage you to discuss your specific work areas with your manager and VP and look for ways to work on projects that interest you. If you are unsatisfied with those conversations and outcomes, please come talk with me directly so I can help achieve this for you at Zillow Group. I am confident that on all teams we can find a good fit or in some case, a move to another team where the work might be more of a interest and fit. Again, please come talk with me if you are unhappy with your work assignment.

      Pros

      Zillow was a great place for me to grow as a sales professional over the past 4 1/2 years. I experienced a ton of change throughout my tenure, and even more personal growth. This is a world class organization at ZGOC. There are some great leaders starting with a Senior Director who will be dearly missed when she heads north. The people are great here, that’s what I will miss the most. The product is best in the industry when used and scaled properly by the Premier Agents. The sales processes are great and ever evolving with consistent and ongoing training. The performance of the ZGOC sales team is the best in the company, and I am proud to have been a part of it. There’s a strong financial opportunity for top performance. Zillow Group as a company truly follows its core values while working towards a strong and ambitious mission. Culture is amazing, benefits are awesome: health, 401k, fun office environment, award dinners, catered Friday lunches, food, coffee, ZG week in Seattle....

      Cons

      It can be a grind, but when things roll they’re great. Change happens fast, not a total con, but be ready to pivot at times and trust the process. Entry level pricing in some markets prices out a lot of agents from the beginning. Low turnout on the softball team often left us short handed for games.

      Changing company, high stress sales environment

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, perks, free food, comfortable office, good work life balance

      Cons

      Leadership makes unethical decisions and changes without notice, high stress sales environment with no job stability, constant changes being made and company is moving away from tech startup feel to corporate, lots of turnover, hiring more sales people too quickly
