Vantaggi

Home office, gym stipends. Work from home.

Svantaggi

The training process for sales is absolutely terrible. You spend a ton of time on HR and compliance trainings, followed by a week of very general systems. No time at all is spent on deep dives into the product, call shadowing, or competitive advantage. They then expect you to simply learn by doing, even though your training was all HR and high level systems. All of this while you’ll be expected to hit a quota. You are encouraged to fabricate your hours worked during training, even though Zillow says they want to “do the right thing.” They say you can flex these, but plenty of hours over 40 took place the first few weeks due to travel, late meetings, and other factors. Given the timeframe flexing was not possible but OT not allowed. Sales has way too many reps. Contacts are way overworked and Zillow contacts them multiple times a month. I cannot say but wouldn’t be surprised if layoffs eventually happen.

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).
