Great perks but toxic environment in some teams

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome perks: Great medical, dental, vision Good 401k match Monthly wellness stipend Monthly home office reimbursement Work internationally up to 20 days a year Discretionary PTO Giving match up to $1k a year

Cons

It is totally dependent upon the org you get hired into. Some as fantastic and some are extremely toxic. Unfortunately, I was hired into a toxic one. Despite sharing feedback with my skip-level and HR - nothing happened. I watched entire teams leave and accountability for the leader. It’s sad and disheartening as the company itself is great and has a strong mission. Just all depends on where you land. Don’t trust online sources. Talk to people who work in those areas at Zillow before accepting. Also - pay is much lower than other tech companies in similar roles.

Thank you for your review. It's great to hear that benefits like the wellness stipend, home office reimbursement and flexible time off made a positive impact during your time here. We also hear you that team culture and leadership can vary significantly across organizations, and that consistency and accountability matter. What you've shared about raising concerns internally and not feeling heard is something we take seriously and that's not the standard we hold ourselves to. If you're open to sharing more, please reach out at careers@zillowgroup.com.

Strong pay and benefits overshadowed by high pressure environment

Pros

Competitive base pay and valuable company benefits and perks.

Cons

I started with 30 new hires, and when I was fired, there were 15 people left. They use a cohort-based hiring model with performance-driven retention. Employees are expected to achieve at least 70% of their monthly quota. If performance falls below that threshold, they are placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP). Failure to recover and meet quota expectations within three months may result in termination.

Thank you for your review. We're glad compensation and benefits stood out as positives during your time here. We also hear you that the pace and pressure of a sales environment can be a lot, especially early in a role. Transparency and support throughout that process matter, and your feedback is a reminder of where we can keep improving.
