best job I've had

Software development engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

-Ridiculously fast growth and fantastic culture. -Hack week is probably the most fun I've had in my software dev career. -The people around me are the best balance of passionate, fun, yet professional that I've worked with in the industry. -There's always a lot of interesting work to do and problems to solve, but I'm still able to consistently work 40-45 hours a week.

Cons

Not quite elite compensation package, The company seems to be trying to hire the top candidates, but offered a smaller comp package than what I was offered from Twitter and Facebook, and no free (daily) meals or parking.

Its sales: take the good with the bad

Pros

Excellent pay. I made 90k my first year. Most managers are awesome and care about us. Health package is top notch. The product actually works. Most of my teamates are fantastic. people who say its like boiler room are just not being fair or honest. I am not pushy at all and I make really good money. My clients who listen to my advice kick but.

Cons

Long hours. They can work on noise control. Call time is good metric but there better metrics to drive business forward. dollars per min or number of product demonstrations should be weighed in when it comes to daily activity goals.

Thank you for the review. Looks like you are in inside sales, probably in our agent sales group which sells Zillow advertising to "Premier Agents" around the country. I agree with you -- we are NOT a boiler room. Zillow salespeople who take an interest in their clients' success can A) make a lot of money, and B) make a difference in people's lives. It looks like you are doing both, and for that, I am grateful. Thank you for being at Zillow.

Pros

great start up mentality. awesome perks. primo location. everything is fun all the time outside of your grind. this of course was 2 years ago.

Cons

the turnover rate is very depressing. it is hard to stay focused when people are vanishing left and right. if you can handle that, and you can sell, you can be very happy.

My name is Doug Slotkin and I run the Inside Sales organization - I likely interacted with you a couple of years ago when you were at Zillow. The training, to your point, has improved in terms of duration, breadth of content and amount of ongoing support we provide to new sales people. The turnover rate is absolutely something we are working to improve and actually, it has improved since you left Zillow. In terms of fun, the majority of the 250 sales people at Zillow are seeing some level of success - many folks earning well into six figures - These folks would tell you that in addition to the perks and great office spaces, there's one major driver which keeps sales people happy at Zillow: They are proud to represent a product that works so well for so many agents/brokers and one that has helped them develop big books of business over the years.
