Pros

Amazing atmosphere of innovation and growth. Working at Zillow really seems to get better with time. The transparent leadership really drips down to all levels of management. I feel like Zillow rewards independent, forward-thinking employees. It's all about the big picture here.

Cons

None really come to mind. Leadership should continue innovating and exploring. Only con that comes to mind is the lack of 401K matching.

Glorified telemarketer

Pros

Zillow has good benefits, inexpensive to include each member of the family. Snacks and drinks provided for you, as well.

Cons

The company and culture was presented as a great place to work , with the opportunity to make good money. The truth is it's a glorified call center/telemarketing job. Days are always 10-12 hours, just to hit your minimum requirements. 150 phone calls; encoragement to come in early, stay late and eat lunch at your desk to continue working. The pay will never equal the amount of work you put in. 170% of quota will have you under 100k. It's very stressful and extremely unprofessional. Very noisy while on the phone. I have been told by customers that it sounds like a circus. And the turnover is outrageous!! Every other week, more empty seats for those who have been fired or simply quit. I would NOT recommend this position to anyone!!

Pros

Great web site, cool office space, free energy drinks and snacks. Co-workers are smart and all work hard. Free lunch on Fridays, catered in.

Cons

Management is narcissism on steroids - they made up the kool aid and drank it and shove it down everyone elses throat. The hype is all day long, lots of stupid pep rally type meetings. 10 hr days plus and encouraged, public scoffing at under achievers, You sit next to people who haven't sold anything all day yet their numbers say differently. If you can keep up hype you have a chance to do well, if you even look tired or disheartened, you are on your way out.
