Pros

-Benefits, remote, PTO, can expense phone/office/gym

Cons

- Ageism at its finest. The org has deteriorated since last year when there was a change of roles and managers due to yet another reorganization and layoff. We are doing double the work for a reduction in pay. -After the 3rd mass layoff it remained pure chaos. They reduced our salary/eliminated our bonus to then give us stock/RSU’s that are ONLY worth something if we stay a few years, and IF the stock price increases. Management was not sympathetic and SKIMMED OVER THE FACT that there was a pay decrease. We are seeing less money in our paycheck which is what matters to most employees. -Following the layoff of half the team one would think there would be opportunities for a pay increase or growth, not the case. -An unprofessional frat-house/sorority environment. Not inclusive. Limited opportunities for growth. - The annual review process doesn’t reward those who are working hard if you’re favored by manager.

Very collaborative team, encouraging team members and managers. Great experience overall.

Cons

Because most people work remote, sometimes it can be hard to meet immediately to chat.

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.
