Pros

Great place to work! Lots of opportunity at Zillow and a great work environment for someone looking to grow in their career.

Cons

Very Seattle-centric. A lot happens at Zillow HQ and Sales is the only department that really gets to expand nationwide.

Hi Former Employee, Thank you for your review, and I'm glad you had a good experience at Zillow. Sorry to have lost you - I wonder why you left? Good feedback on how we can improve things in the non-Seattle office. Almost half of our company is now based outside of Seattle, so it is critical that we get this issue right. I've just come back from 2 weeks of travel to our non-Seattle offices: 2x to SF, 2x to NY, 1x to Lincoln. It was great to spend time in those offices and meet more people. I learned a lot, and I will continue to visit our non-Seattle offices as much as possible.

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.
