Zillow reviews

Micromanagement to the tee, hover over you to make calls. We get it, it's our job to dial so stop hovering. Miss 3/5 months and you are gone. Its a factory farm of employees. Everyone is a number. People get axed right and left. There is a reason why everyone moves seats at months end because they fire people. There is a reason why the veterans there don't really talk with new hires because they know they most likely will be gone in a few months. Very interesting dynamic. All leads have been called so much that realtors hate Zillow marketing calls.

Zillow 2.0 is driving people far too hard. There is a tangible change at the company toward tighter budgets, which has resulted in significantly more workload per person without wanting the spend on appropriate staffing levels. (While the equity and belonging team is doing great) I also feel more expendable as Zillow 2.0 moves forward. Despite transparency being a core value, management in my org makes major personnel decisions without opening positions to the whole org, causing employees at other sites to be left behind and the whole process to become very political and unfair. Transparency is only valued on a technical level, not a people level in my org. Politics have frequently influenced decisions about major systems changes, and when to spend budget even when the equipment is badly needed.
