It's no surprise that they ruined their reputation. This was always a toxic workplace. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Zillow

Vantaggi

Decent pay, good benefits, and if you can buy into the illusion that you work someplace where your upper management cares, then sure, you can enjoy it here until your entire department is demolished. I'm extremely lucky that didn't happen to me.

Svantaggi

All of them. Zillow claims to pride itself on being a modern, caring, woke workplace where all are welcome. And while they do make a nice little show of that, in reality, this is a place where any criticism is met with a termination warning and a plan by upper management to work you out of the company one way or another, even if they have to start firing your direct reports out from under you and blocking you from meeting with the head of HR and gaslighting you by claiming that you were the problem all along. While there, I was ordered to tell my direct reports never to share their bonus totals with one another, nor to share their raises or salaries after promotion, because it would be seen as "unprofessional." I was outvoted on many hiring decisions because a person seemed like they would not be a "culture fit" because they were a woman whose bra strap showed during her interview or because she had dyed hair. Or that we couldn't hire a candidate of color because English wasn't their "first language" and that they might not know enough real estate terms, while we hired white people who said "Relator" instead of them. I had peers confide in me that they were told that they could never be as successful as male peers or male managers if they had dyed hair or showed any skin at all, even while many of the female upper managers did precisely that every day, much to their career's benefit. Often, managers would make up new rules for calling in sick because they were mad that one of their employees had done so, including asking about the details about their illnesses and asking when, as in when during that same day, they expected they would get over their illness and would be able to make it in to the office. And just in case you think they were mad because they thought people were calling in for hangovers, drinking was encouraged while on the job at times, as there were bar carts all over the HQ office and alcohol was provided at many times at other offices, although I will say that this was a little more under control as the company grew and they realized it would be a bad look if anything became public because of that. Nothing, and I cannot stress this enough, NOTHING, would ever lead me to recommend someone working here again.

Vantaggi

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Svantaggi

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
