Great company with great opportunity

Pros

Zillow is a great company to work for. Salaries are competitive and they make a strong effort to keep them fair as well as even with the market. Zillow is also very fair with raises and stock equity grants. As far as personal growth, Zillow encourages you in its core values to Own It. You get ahead at Zillow by owning big projects, taking big swings, and succeeding at them. Zillow as a large company is also very generous. Every year employees get a very cool gift that has a purpose, to make us better at our jobs. Last year was FitBits (good health means good work), this year it was Kindle Fires (smarter employees are better employees).

Cons

Zillow has historically been weak on training, but that is changing quickly. I think the biggest con is that it can be difficult to be in an office other than main headquarters, and can also be difficult to work on a business that is not the core real estate/for sale business.

Pros

Every salesperson is treated like a true professional. We are encouraged to reach our potential but are given freedom with how we sell. Tons of incredible lunches, awards and an all around positive support. I have made the most money and had the most fun while doing it at Zillow!

Cons

It is a competitive environment, but that's sales! With uncapped sales potential of course it is going to be a grind at times. The hungriest sales person will win.

People and Culture First

Pros

Very effective at keeping a positive culture and environment geared towards collaboration and problem solving. The goals are always clear at all levels from the corporate executive level to the department level to the individual teams.

Cons

Really not a lot that is not positive. Sometimes new opportunities can be wanting but if you create them management is very receptive to cut you slack.

Thank you for the great review. We do try to set clear goals for people. We are a results-oriented company, a "data meritocracy" which means that the best idea (supported by the best data) wins arguments. I'm glad that you are having a good experience here, and thank you for living our core values by being action-oriented ("Own it") and collaborative ("Z is a team sport").
