Pros

Great leadership. Management is all very approachable and really tries to advocate for their employes. Everyone's ideas and needs are listened to and put to action. The executives are engaging to listen to. Even in a room of a thousand people they make their speeches feel personable. The hiring process is really thorough, but if you get a job here you'll see why. Everybody that works at this company is a perfect fit with their team. Zillow sees the importance of company culture and does a great job of making sure that their employes work well together. I believe that everyone on my team genuinely likes one another. There are a lot of perks for working here, and HR is striving to make them even better. Can't wait for the 401k matching to start.

Cons

I think people on the sales team have way too much pressure on them and it trickles down to others.

Thank you for the great review. I agree that the annual meeting in December helped get everyone on the same page, and also fired us up for 2015. It is a huge investment in time, energy and money, but it is worth it. Getting 1000+ Zillowites all together in person for a few days to talk about the company, our goals, our culture, and our strategy is very important. Thank you for being here, and for contributing positively to our core values.

Pros

-Ridiculously fast growth and fantastic culture. -Hack week is probably the most fun I've had in my software dev career. -The people around me are the best balance of passionate, fun, yet professional that I've worked with in the industry. -There's always a lot of interesting work to do and problems to solve, but I'm still able to consistently work 40-45 hours a week.

Cons

Not quite elite compensation package, The company seems to be trying to hire the top candidates, but offered a smaller comp package than what I was offered from Twitter and Facebook, and no free (daily) meals or parking.

Its sales: take the good with the bad

Pros

Excellent pay. I made 90k my first year. Most managers are awesome and care about us. Health package is top notch. The product actually works. Most of my teamates are fantastic. people who say its like boiler room are just not being fair or honest. I am not pushy at all and I make really good money. My clients who listen to my advice kick but.

Cons

Long hours. They can work on noise control. Call time is good metric but there better metrics to drive business forward. dollars per min or number of product demonstrations should be weighed in when it comes to daily activity goals.

Thank you for the review. Looks like you are in inside sales, probably in our agent sales group which sells Zillow advertising to "Premier Agents" around the country. I agree with you -- we are NOT a boiler room. Zillow salespeople who take an interest in their clients' success can A) make a lot of money, and B) make a difference in people's lives. It looks like you are doing both, and for that, I am grateful. Thank you for being at Zillow.
