I love the transparency that Glassdoor provides to both working and interviewing at our company, but we believe this review was meant for a different company, and although we appealed to Glassdoor directly, they would not remove this review. Almost every statement made in this review is untrue: we don't have Full Stack devs in NJ, we don't have a remote work policy (we believe the best work happens while collaborating in our offices), every developer has an Apple computer (except a handful of folks who love Linux), we don't have an "offseason", people need homes year-round, and finally, we are hiring right now because we have lots of exciting work to do (join us!). To the poster of this review, if you really did work for us and would like to discuss with me directly, please don't hesitate to contact me, -Matt Daimler mattd@zillow.com

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

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.
