Pros

Management team is long term focused. Not distracted by shareholders or competition. They have a commitment to hiring the best people and cutting bait with those who are't big fast thinkers.

Cons

Not many. Teams generally work well together and are highly collaborative. Company is getting big with the integration of Trulia and execution is largely the biggest risk.

Thank you for the great review! I'm very glad that you feel the leadership team is not overly focused on the near term or on competition. You are correct. We are focused on building a very significant company over the LONG term, and that means making big investments which won't pay off for a long time. On the topic of maintaining a strong corporate culture and one which empowers great people, I actually wrote about this today in Fortune: http://fortune.com/2015/06/04/spencer-rascoff-keeping-your-best-employees/

Pros

Honestly, it's hard to come up with any

Cons

Where to start: Zillow was the worst experience of my professional career. I made the jump to Zillow because my to-be manager told me in the interview that, "everyone wants Zillow" and we would dominate the market. Completely not true. Not only were our goals too high, but they were the same as every other market in the country. My market has one of the best conditions in the country, and it's completely unreasonable to be held to such high marks. On top of that, reps were able to sell wherever they want. I spoke to management a few times about reps selling in my territory, but it kept happening. Outside of the day-to-day, the worst part of Zillow was interacting with my manager. He was unprofessional to a degree I have never experienced. We had weekly sales contests at the end of my tenure, and he did not allow me to participate in them, while other reps were able to. When I was let go, he didn't have the professional courtesy to tell me directly, but had his boss do it for him. Be a professional!!!

Thank you for saying I am cool - I appreciate that. But the rest of what you wrote is very concerning and upsetting to me. We have many talented people at Zillow from all different ethnic, cultural, religious and racial backgrounds. I will discuss your concerns with the team here and see if we can possibly learn from your experience (specifically, I mean the comment that you felt that managers played favorites). Sincerely, Spencer
