      Pros

      Good ideas and thoughts conveyed by management Many knowledgeable people and caring people in multiple departments Collaboration with others was strongly encouraged Understands that AI is a tool and not a replacement for many interactions

      Cons

      The company has grown quickly, and with that came frequent tool changes and increased structure. Planned breaks and stricter KPI tracking significantly changed the workday from a more flexible environment to a more rigid and stressful one. Performance metrics and KPIs changed frequently, which made it difficult to consistently understand expectations. After several months of shifting performance standards, I was ultimately let go for performance reasons, despite receiving positive feedback in regular 1:1s. Workload and system complexity increased over time, with limited support or adjustment when responsibilities became overwhelming.

      A Toxic cycle of overwork, disrespect, and toxic leaders.

      Pros

      Remote work and your co-workers are great. That's it.

      Cons

      I would strongly caution anyone looking into a CSM role at Zillow to look elsewhere. The organization operates on a cycle of deceit and false promises, where 'success' is a moving goalpost and leadership is toxic. Expect to have your workload doubled or even tripled year-over-year with no increase in pay, leaving you constantly stressed and overworked. You will be forced to manage 'bad' accounts (clients who were sold unrealistic expectations by Sales) only to be looked down upon by leadership when those accounts struggle. The internal hierarchy is demoralizing; no matter how much revenue or growth you bring to the table, you will never be treated with the same respect as a Sales rep. You are essentially glorified support, yet you are simultaneously punished for not being 'strategic'—even though the product breaks so often that realtors only want you for troubleshooting. To make matters worse, there is no structured growth path. If you express a desire to move forward, your progress is entirely dependent on the whims of leaders who often penalize integrity rather than rewarding it. If you value your mental health, work-life balance, or being paid fairly for your output, this is not the place for you.

      Has become toxic and political

      Pros

      Stellar remote work environment with ability to come together as a team fairly often. Pay is fair.

      Cons

      Many AWS transplants have brought over the toxic mentality. You’ll be stabbed in the back and get many fake agreement. Overall lost identity I’d say.

      Thank you for sharing your review. It’s good to hear that flexibility and the ability to come together as a team have remained strengths. At the same time, comments around trust and team dynamics highlight areas that deserve attention. Our core values are meant to guide how we collaborate and support one another, especially as teams evolve. For current employees, there are established ways to raise concerns, including confidential options outlined on the company intranet. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
