Zillow reviews

- ZO pause and subsequent wind down was handled very poorly, marketing layoffs went from "we don't know if your team will be impacted" to "your last day at Zillow is today" overnight. Many impacted did not even support the ZO business. - Reasonings for ZO pausing and then winding down altogether seemed to keep changing, little to no transparency there. - Lack of senior leadership accountability.

Working in Zillow marketing, at times, felt frustrating. The marketing org is super layered, and can feel top heavy. Senior leaders meet frequently to figure out pathways forward, ask the worker bees to implement, then quickly pivot to the next thing, at times leaving the work from the original thing abandoned for the newest shiny object. Also, there is never enough staff at the bottom to accomplish all the important things, yet new senior strategy based positions are always added. The result is there is a bunch of senior leaders constantly trying to justify their value by pushing new things that there isn’t capacity for. It can feel dizzying. Sometimes it feels like we don’t actually do anything, despite all the planning. Sometimes it feels like we barely do any actual work. We sure do talk about it a lot. Of course, this is a view point from someone who may not truly get the big picture.
