Pros

Zillow has great company benefits, lots of free snacks, and good base pay. The Seattle building is great and has wonderful views.

Cons

Quotas are very hard (increasingly hard) to hit and turnover on the sales force is very high. It is a very pretty pretty boiler room. You make tons of calls all day everyday, and real estate agents are not the most fun people to talk to... Talk time is set high, however it is nearly impossible to hit is as a new employee. At least 90% of the calls I made were voicemails leading to a very repetitive job.

Pros

There's a lot of great things to say about Zillow. They provide their employees the best possible: great benefits, amenities, work-life balance, holiday parties, and a great workspace to name a few. Many at the company are quite talented, and it shows. The charisma the CEO possesses is outstanding, and his influence definitely reaches to all parts of the company.

Cons

A mostly sink-or-swim culture. Many like to flex their muscles, and without proper guidance (which is often the case) can cause endless discussions, and at times cause frustration, obstructing productivity. The pay is lower compared to higher tier companies, but the returns in other forms help.

Pros

At Zillow, you will be challenged like you have never been before. You will be asked to tackle big projects, work fast, and deliver great results. You will be provided with opportunities that do not exist at other companies - and that is awesome! If you are willing to roll up your sleeves and dive right in head first, then Zillow is the place for you.

Cons

Sales team is quite large and sometimes out of control. Tons of moving parts which makes it hard to educate those on the front lines to make sure we are providing the best customer experience and/or introducing new products/features.
