Pros

The company has maintained a small company feel despite our rapid growth over the last three years. The people I work with are insightful, creative, and also really supportive and friendly. The work I do is challenging and recognition for great work is abundant. People are passionate about their work and it shows in the meetings and in the presentation of projects. The company is very transparent in its goals and processes, and knowledge sharing is encouraged. There is also a huge emphasis on work life balance, but people also recognize that sometimes those hours need to be put in to hit a deadline. I haven't had an issue with putting in those extra hours because in the long run it helps.

Cons

There are some big company politics that have creeped in subtly with the rapid hiring that we've done of people from the big boys in the area like Microsoft, Expedia, and Google, but most of it is squashed when they figure out how Zillow operates.

Now we're talking! I liked your review very much. If you ever see politics at Zillow and you want me to stamp it out, please either talk to me or email me. If you want to do it anonymously, remember that if you go to the "Zillow Talk Blog" (our internal blog), you can send anonymous feedback which goes to me and to HR. 100% anonymous. Thank you!

Pros

This company still speaks loud volumes on startup vibe-since being here, the company has grown exponentially and growth opportunities are great if you can prove yourself. You have the ability to build a book of business and Zillow has a business model that is lucrative. It takes hard work, but upper management recognizes top producers and I have seen many promotions to well deserved reps. Toughest time is first 6 months

Cons

With growth- many changes and moving pieces . Every month something changes such as sales process and expectations. must work hard- plenty of days off but hard to take days off due to commission structure

Thank you for your review. I'm very glad that you're having a good experience here. The Irvine office is a great place to be (as you know). The office culture there is terrific, and the sales team crushes it there. I love visiting that office, which I do every few weeks.
