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.

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.
