Pros

For me, this job has been a life changing experience. I started at the Trulia office in San Francisco and moved to Irvine during the merger. I was unsure that I was making the right decision but I am SO glad I did! I never thought I could be apart of such a huge company and still feel important and supported by smart, talented leaders.They have an open door policy that they actually live by! Not only does this company treat their employees better than any job I've had before (the benefits are crazy good) they take care of the clients and are constantly coming up with new and innovative ways to help real estate agents grow their business by delivering the best product in this industry, hands down. And not to mention, the happy hours, team events, trips to Seattle for our holiday party - all icing on the cake. I am honored to be apart of this company and hope to have a very, very long career here.

Cons

typical of any sales job, its a competitive grind but if you love the thrill of a sale and will work hard to get it, then you will love it.

Thank you for the glowing review. Like you, I feel very lucky to be part of the Zillow Group and the sales team here in Irvine. Our benefits, the company party, and our products are a few of the many great things the Zillow Group offers. As you progress through your career, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can drive innovation for our customer and our organization. Feel free to pull me aside on the sales floor or reach out to stevec@zillow.com. Thanks again for the review. Steve Capezza – Senior Director, Orange County Sales

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).
