The Best First Job Ever!

Pros

Coming straight out of college, landing a job at Zillow has been tremendous. From the great work culture (speakers, free food, social events) to the outstanding people, Zillow has it all. While there is a relaxed work atmosphere, everyone works extremely hard and produces great work. My colleges all work very well together and manager is so knowledgeable and helpful -- a true mentor.

Cons

Feel like I work a lot of hours at times.

Pros

If you want to be challenged, work in a company that has high expectations (and high rewards), be surrounded by ridiculously intelligent people, do innovative and cool things, make a difference in the lives and careers of real estate agents and brokers and have fun while you're doing it, then work at Zillow. If you want to slack off, not be trusted or listened to, have no input in how things are done or work in a place that doesn't respect your contributions, then look elsewhere.

Cons

... Hmmm, there's a 20 word minimum for this field. How about, "Sometimes the view of Puget Sound from the high-rise office space is distracting." Sorry, that's all I have.

Worst job of my career.

Pros

Plenty of excellent free food and a beautiful view of Orange County. Great guest speakers. These people are passionate about real estate and have the technology chops to back it up.

Cons

Overly aggressive inside sales team with a demanding management style. People are second to money. I was given no chance or consideration to move to another position. Very unhealthy environment with blasting music and nonstop emails to hit your numbers. Zero work/life balance. If you want to be run like a race horse then this is the place for you.

Hi, I was very disappointed to read this review because I know for certain that the sales team in Irvine is a great team and people are very happy there. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, and I will talk with our sales leadership to see if there is something we can learn from your experience. Sales is undoubtedly a hard job. Especially at the beginning when one doesn't have a roster of successful clients yet. After a few months, the job gets a lot easier once you have clients whose success you can play off of and who give you confidence in the possibilities of the product.
