Thank you for this review. I try to do frequent company meetings, and lots of small group meetings, in order to keep communication very open between execs and the entire company. You're right that cross-team collaboration becomes harder as the company grows, but it's something I'm working hard on and I think we're definitely better than most companies. Always room for improvement though!

Thank you for your review. I'm proud of the fact that every single sales manager (around 20 now) were former salespeople. We have never hired a sales manager from outside of Zillow. It's very important to me that sales managers have walked in salespeople's shoes. You are right though that sometimes they are selected based on their management abilities not based on their sales results. Usually they were top salespeople, but not always. Good feedback though, and I agree that they will certainly have more credibility with their team (especially right out of the gate) as a manager if they were a top salesperson. Thanks!
