Pluspunten

I enjoyed the open and giving atmosphere. Collaboration and cooperation was definitely the norm at Zillow -- everywhere you went, there were people having impromptu meetings, sketching on whiteboards, working out problems together. Everyone was focused on creating the best product possible and invested in helping others create their best work to get there. The development cycle was tight controlled and executed, which allowed for quick turnaround on features. Everyone gave 100% and was serious about their job -- I can only think of one or two people that didn't seem to pull their weight (and there's always at least one, right?) All in all, the people were absolutely the best.

Minpunten

For me, I sometimes felt that, since I wasn't a java dev, that I wasn't privy to a lot of information that they were getting. They seemed to know about a secret repository of knowledge that no one else did, so I felt like I was playing catch-up all the time. I personally was not given very much training to start, so I felt there were major gaps in my knowledge about how the site worked and was put together. I was issued a VERY slow computer that impeded my productivity tremendously, and prying loose the resources to buy new equipment was difficult.

Pluspunten

The posts about AWS culture infiltrating Zillow must be pretty team or person specific, as I've seen nothing but leaders who really care about their teams and the business. Middle managers can often drag down morale and culture - and working remote makes that hard to see/fix. But generally, the culture and support at Zillow is WAY better than any other tech company I've worked at (or heard about from friends). Fully remote with decent benefits and people who generally care about each other is fantastic (and hard to find in today's market). For those complaining about bad culture - I'd suggest you look at another role in another org, you might be pleasantly surprised the ZG people first culture is still strong.

Minpunten

Fully remote makes it hard to get the right visibility and promotions and ratings are unfortunately tied to whether senior leaders see your work and know who you are. You have to make an effort to be "seen" and that's hard to do remote. The news cycle is noisy with lawsuits, but I think a lot of that is because we're a big name with a big target on our back. A judge just ruled in Zillow's favor, against Compass.

Pluspunten

You can make good money here.

Minpunten

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.
