I love the transparency that Glassdoor provides to both working and interviewing at our company, but we believe this review was meant for a different company, and although we appealed to Glassdoor directly, they would not remove this review. Almost every statement made in this review is untrue: we don't have Full Stack devs in NJ, we don't have a remote work policy (we believe the best work happens while collaborating in our offices), every developer has an Apple computer (except a handful of folks who love Linux), we don't have an "offseason", people need homes year-round, and finally, we are hiring right now because we have lots of exciting work to do (join us!). To the poster of this review, if you really did work for us and would like to discuss with me directly, please don't hesitate to contact me, -Matt Daimler mattd@zillow.com

Thank you for taking the time to post this review. I'm glad you enjoyed the commission opportunity we provide. I appreciate your feedback regarding our sales team. That feedback doesn't seem to be in-line with what I've heard from the rest of our sales floor though as we focus a lot on working together as a team. Feel free to reach out to me if there's anything else you'd like to share. Thank you again. Chris Lowe Senior Director, Premier Agent Sales
