Great company and culture, however, the saturated market makes sales positions less than ideal. - Inside Sales Consultant Zillow Employee Review

Pros

Great facilities, smart and talented people, company transparency, insight into other departments, and lots of financial perks. Zillow is truly a team atmosphere with a strong support system.

Cons

I felt blindsided by what the sales position actually entailed. You have immediate quotas and pressure with daily performance measures. They don't explain the high turnover up-front as very few make it past the first couple of months. If you aren't prepared to feel as though you are a telemarketer, this is not the job for you! I felt passionate about the company and products, however, sales calls have a stigma that do not make the job easy especially with all of the online companies making the same calls to the same agents on a daily basis.

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).
