Pros

Free food, great company parties, great office.

Cons

The opportunity for growth here is almost impossible, unless you end up getting to know the right people. Zillow takes pride in their company slogans, however they don’t actually live up to them at all. It’s very much like a high school setting with the way everyone acts. You’re entire job is to text, and call potential buyers and connect them to an agent while using an SOP to follow. 10 hour shifts with an hour lunch, and you must work at least one weekend day.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am disheartened to hear of your experience and perspective of your time employed by Zillow Group. The key to our business is our commitment to all employees no matter which level or department. We believe in empowering all employees to grow long term careers. With this said, we’re always looking for ways to ensure our associates have equal access to growth and development opportunities as we strive to provide an environment where associates feel they’re valued, treated fairly and respected. Career development is something we do not take lightly and we are always looking for feedback to improve. The role of a Connections Specialist is very important to Zillow Group's success and does require long days connecting Buyers with Agents. This is a unique environment and best suited for those who are willing to move fast and operate with excellence. I appreciate your feedback and ideas on work needed and how we can improve. Greg Davis Senior Director Connections Experience gdavis@zillowgroup.com

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).
