Vantaggi

Some wonderful talent all around and first rate engineers. The company used to embrace a strong work life balance, which has no gone to the wayside. Also some great personalities and people that are fun to be in the trenches with. Terminating our president was one of the better days. David Beitel is about as sharp as they come.

Svantaggi

There is quite limited mobility within the company. Our hiring pipeline is abysmal. We don't practice what we preach. Teams are woefully overworked and understaffed. We are heavy on managers and low on individual contributors. Many managers are not even technical and serve as little more than bobbling heads. On boarding new engineers is comical, as if we were a two week old startup and not a company with almost two decades at market. We keep buying companies and integrating them poorly and tripling the work of our teams.

Very collaborative team, encouraging team members and managers. Great experience overall.

Because most people work remote, sometimes it can be hard to meet immediately to chat.

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.
