- If you're an individual contributor at the company you are just a workhorse in upper management's eyes. Managers and leadership don't care about your well-being even though they say they do. They just want someone who is ambitious and eager to accomplish the task at hand but don't want someone too ambitious because then they'll feel threatened and the relationship will turn very sour.
-As an individual contributor, your pay is terrible. Everyone complains about it but leadership doesn't do anything except say it's based on standard of living.
- If you like the environment where you feel like a chicken with it's head cut off then this is the place for you.
-If you like being told what to do, and be told, "you're empowered to speak up” but in actuality, no one cares what you have to say, because leaders already know what’s “right”, then this is the place for you.
- If you’d rather discuss career development rather than actually be developed, then this will be the place for you.
- It's extremely top down but again if you like that, then great.
- Really think about this, and look at other companies’ glassdoor. Not often will you see leadership responding to EVERY review. But if you look at Zillow’s you’ll see that every review good or bad, has a comment. Doesn’t it make you wonder, does Zillow have something to hide and are they so concerned with their image that they need to have a rebuttal for every comment made, and why? Shouldn’t management be working to help their employees rather than spending their day reading reviews?
