Pros

Upper management doesn't always get things right to start but they make things right in the end. At Zillow everything changes quickly and it's really good to know that if something changes to the negative it won't be for long. Free food is awesome Lots of cool groups like basketball, reading, etc

Cons

You have to be okay to change what you do on the day to day quickly but if you're cool with that there aren't many things I would consider a con

Thanks for taking the time to send over this great review. You are right, we take pride in moving fast and thinking big which makes things exciting! I think we do a good job holding our sales folks accountable for setting good expectations but please feel free to let your manager know if we are missing someone or something specific here. You are always welcome to stop by my desk and let me know too so I can help solve for this since it's not something we take lightly. Thanks again for your time and I'm glad you think this is a great place to be! Chris Lowe Senior Director - Inside Sales, Seattle

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
