Pros

My manager is amazing and genuinely invested in our work and lives. I get to work with execs and share my projects when it is applicable, despite only being a coordinator. There's very little red-tape or protocols that block people lower on the food chain from contributing meaningfully and sharing their work and projects with execs. Most importantly there is support throughout the company for having work/life balance. I live over and hour commute from the Seattle office and I never feel pressured to stay late and miss my train. We are treated like adults and trusted to get our jobs done. It is a great place to work, not just because of the perks, but because of the respect and support we get from our managers and execs. Highly recommend!

Cons

I think it depends on your job, but I have had some trouble developing in my role because it didn't exist before I came on. However, this has allowed me a lot of input and ownership over defining what I want the role to be.

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

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.
