Pros

Great work life balance, great compensation, great opportunity to make as much as you want. Great work culture, amazing benefits....plus a lot more. I'm writing this review because I've worked in the Seattle sales office for a while now and shocked to read all the comments about have to work over 40 hours a week in order to make quota. Which is NOT TRUE!!! I think our quota's are more than reasonable and most decent worker in sales usually surpass their quota about 120% if not higher. If you feel like you need to work more than 40 hours in order to hit quota, you're probably not cut out for sales or this is not the right job for you. That's just being brutally honest. I've worked in sales for over 12 yrs for many different companies and Zillow is probably one of the best ones with low stress, great work life balance and still have potential to make a lot of money. Of course you have to work HARD though, I honesty work less than 40 hours a week and sales managers don't mind. As long as you keep your numbers up and hit quota which is very achievable you get full autonomy and if you want to leave a little early on a Friday its totally OK!

Cons

Can't think of anything, keep up the good work!

Pros

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.

Cons

- 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).
