Vantaggi

Witnessing tremendous growth, but still maintaining rock solid culture. Really like how management cares about employees and listens. I mean it, employee surveys are taken seriously and actions are taken based on that. Innovation is at the core of the company. Always thinking big and moving fast to achieve those goals. It is hard to see from outside, but that is the reason Zillow dominates the markets and competition keeps on playing catch up game. Pretty much still bottom up approach with small teams diving up awesome products. There is level of autonomy given to engineers. Work life balance is great. I really like how we do all release activities during day time with almost no downtime to on live site. We have really efficient operations team that make this happen (they can be little stubborn at times, but they need to keep Zillow running -- understandable). That means no on call for developers.

Svantaggi

Mostly due to flat organization structure hard to see clear career progression.

Vantaggi

You can make good money here.

Svantaggi

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. We understand that frequent changes to roles, account ownership and business priorities can have a real impact on relationship-building and the day-to-day experience in sales. We’re glad to hear compensation was a positive part of your time at Zillow, and we appreciate you being candid about where the model and structure felt frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand how these changes are experienced across teams as the business evolves.
