Pros

Upper management doesn't always get things right to start but they make things right in the end. At Zillow everything changes quickly and it's really good to know that if something changes to the negative it won't be for long. Free food is awesome Lots of cool groups like basketball, reading, etc

Cons

You have to be okay to change what you do on the day to day quickly but if you're cool with that there aren't many things I would consider a con

Thanks for taking the time to send over this great review. You are right, we take pride in moving fast and thinking big which makes things exciting! I think we do a good job holding our sales folks accountable for setting good expectations but please feel free to let your manager know if we are missing someone or something specific here. You are always welcome to stop by my desk and let me know too so I can help solve for this since it's not something we take lightly. Thanks again for your time and I'm glad you think this is a great place to be! Chris Lowe Senior Director - Inside Sales, Seattle

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

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.
