      Pros

      great views, free food, fun people

      Cons

      the job is crazy hard. every real estate agent you call has heard of/used zillow in the past and know exactly why they don't want to try again or why they haven't tried already. it gets really old trying to talk people into a product they dont want

      Thanks for giving us your feedback regarding your experience in Inside Sales at Zillow. I would say that while most agents have heard of Zillow, the vast majority of agents we call have not advertised on Zillow previously. We do face challenging objections from agents around budget and concerns about the ROI of advertising online - Fortunately, we have the top performing platform that generates more business for more real estate agents/brokers than any other, and this resonates with agents we engage. I wish you success in your next role. Doug Slotkin VP, Local Ad Sales

      Growing Pains But Overall Great Place to Work

      Pros

      Great people, wonderful working environment. You get everything you need to get the job done. Leadership vision is strong and clearly communicated. Very transparent company. Lots of fun to be had. Benefits are solid.

      Cons

      Some office politics to navigate in terms of alliances and cliques that can pose hurdles to pushing ideas forward and getting buy-in for projects. Challenging ramp up as processes, knowledge, and data exists in silos across the company and are not accessible efficiently . Developer resources are limited for a company this size, so being scrappy and willing to adjust technical aspects of a project on the fly is crucial to success. Growth is at a crescendo, so company culture is in transition and hasn't regained it's footing. Additionally, as it grows, "old timers" are promoted who have little to no experience managing people. No longer a start up feel, but more a corporate environment creating new barriers to getting things done in innovative ways. Work/life balance is absolutely lip service. Young singles who put in 50/60 hour weeks are recognized often and rise quickly, while those trying to strike a more reasonable approach tread water and are viewed as ineffective.

      Pros

      Some of the reasons that makes this a great place to work is having the chance to help others find their dream house while building relationships.

      Cons

      Not always being able to find the property and price that the client is looking for. Not being able to control the market value of certain locations.
