Pros

The only pro is that you are not unemployed, although being here may make you wish you were

Cons

This org is going to fail. Agents do not see any value in the product and it shows as 70% of the org is not hitting quota. You'd think that if so many reps aren't hitting that the product offering and goals would be adjusted, but no the reps are the problem. There is absolutely zero coaching to help reps get better because none of the managers actually have experience selling the product themselves and literally do not know how to help you improve. There is no structure or strategy involved with the process, no pipeline management, no deal stages, no forecasting, no research into the industry or your prospects, you are told to literally just dial nonstop. This is essentially a call center. This is the most braindead sales position I have ever held. To top this all off, during my ramp period I was told that not only would I not be paid out 100% during ramp (standard at every other org I've been in) but that I would not be paid out 100% even if I hit my ramp quota. Essentially, ramp quota is 1/3 of a full quota but even if you hit 100% of ramp, you only get paid out 1/3 of 100% payout. How does that make sense? The whole point of a ramp is that it's a lower goal to ramp up. If I'm hitting 100% of my goal, reduced or not, I'm hitting 100%. There's zero reason I should be geiting paid out as if I only hit 33%. Most poverty company I've ever been apart of. Do not work here.

Pros

Great company Great benefits Overall culture is awesome

Cons

VP of Talent is inexperienced and offensive. Made comments about “how privileged anyone who attended a private school is” in front of entire TA team at staff retreat leaving many feeling uncomfortable. Shows favoritism, and lacks the decorum required of a VP title.

Pros

Excellent benefits for parents, growth opportunities are and will be available as the company continues to reorg. regularly, work from home friendly with compensation for office supplies and setting up your WFH environment.

Cons

Leadership changes have shifted what is important to the company which is no longer the people working there. Mindset of leadership has shifted to money first and to join them or leave. Hard to see when I experienced a very different work environment. Pay dropped dramatically as well with our most recent reorg in August. I'll be looking for other options which is unfortunate because I really used to love working for Zillow. I'm not proud of the company anymore or where it is going.
