Fantastic people but culture is beginning to take a backseat - Sales Executive Zillow Employee Review

The culture of the Orange County office specifically has changed a lot in the last year. One of the core values is Orange County is a destination sales career. This is getting less true by the week. The Orange County office specifically is beginning to see an exodus of talent and employees who have worked with the company for a substantial amount of time. This isn’t a coincidence and over the past 6 months it’s gotten harder to ignore. Loyalty is lost with Zillow. If you’re the #2 sales executive in the company you will still be let go if you don’t hit your quota for 3 consecutive months. It’s a very “what have you done for me lately” role... But they will make exceptions for people they “like.” There have been instances where someone has missed quota for 3 months but an exception was made. Get on their good side. One of the biggest things Zillow preaches is that you have to fit within the culture. They offer no movement for lateral mobility (in the sales executive role) unless you have consistently met your quota for a year or more. This is a little confusing because there are openings regularly in different departments. If Zillow truly only hires 1% of the people they interview and they deem them a cultural fit, wouldn’t it make sense to let them move into a role where they might succeed? Or at least give them the chance?
