Manipulation/Gaslighting/Homophobia from Managers

Offers advisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This place is cutthroat and unsettling behind the scenes.

Cons

The managers targeted me for months largely due to homophobia. One manager told me I shouldn't be talking about having a boyfriend in the office because it would make other people uncomfortable. When she fired me during month 2 of the pandemic, the month after I hit my quota, I was given double my severance after I came forward with evidence of my manager contacting me on my days off and harrassing me. They still kept her as a Manager.

Pros

No micromanaging as long as you did what was expected of you. Very nice and comfortable work stations.

Cons

When Zillow took over Trulia the atmosphere slowly changed and not for the better. Revenue is brought in by the sales teams and when you continually raise quota with the same payout as the original quota it really puts a bad smell in the air and the writing on the wall was very clear. Zillow has turned corporate greed into an art form. I was once proud to say I worked for Trulia/Zillow and now I am embarrassed when I talk to my Realtor friends. I am truly glad that I escaped when I did.

Poor Management, No Accountability

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is an emphasis on work-life balance

Cons

Corporate preaches career development, but it is not trickled down or acted upon. Managers do not care about growth or their employees. Roles are incredibly siloed off from other teams, so you can not get hands-on experience in other departments. Most employees are lazy and take advantage of not being held accountable, starting from management down.
