      Pros

      - Great Benefits. 401K matching starting the first day, great health insurance, dog friendly office. - Company trying to redefine itself and their mission in a red ocean of competitors with a similar service. Opportunity to be part of a "turnaround story." - Interesting customer-facing product. Real estate is an undiscovered frontier full or opportunities to explore the intersection of technology and location/sense of place.

      Cons

      - Zillow's intentions for Trulia as a business are unclear. Zillow has increasingly become more and more involved in the day-to-day operations of the business, which is confusing, as Zillow is a competitor. Trulia continues to lose market share to Realtor.com and Redfin. - Lack of a sense of urgency to fill key leadership roles. Several key leadership roles (like VP of product, VP of design) remained open for 8-12months. It's impossible to build great products when the right leadership is not in place. - Crippling technical debt results and an inability to execute on the strategy. Lion's share of the development work is used to pay down technical debt instead of developing new, differentiating features. Leaders talk ad nauseam about a new strategy that sounds great, but is nearly impossible to implement due to technical debt. - Anti-Agile. What to do and how to do it is dictated by executive leadership, especially from Zillow execs. The technical competence and organizational clarity that are required for teams to work effectively in an agile fashion do not exist, and the leadership does not philosophically behave in a way that aligns to agile ways of working. They are unwilling to surrender any sense of control. Teams feel disempowered and lack a sense of passion and personal investment in the work.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’ve made many changes in the last quarter under my leadership that I believe address some of the concerns you raised. We are investing in a new tech stack to reduce debt. We have reorganized the product/engineering teams and established clear leaders for each group. These teams are empowered to develop their roadmaps and processes that best fit their groups with support from the Trulia executive team. I can’t speak for the past, but filling the VP of Product role is my number one priority and I’ve increased the capacity and quality of the recruiting process to find the right person for the role. I don’t view Zillow or other consumer brands within Zillow Group as competitors. I view them as teammates. We need to learn from each other and development complimentary products that appeal to a variety of consumers We have developed a strong and clear mission that differentiates us, and the leadership team is in full support of this purpose and is excited to execute. I would love to hear any other feedback you might have. Feel free to reach out to me, tim@trulia.com. Best of luck in your next role and continued development.

      Amazing Tech Company With an Even Better Culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are by far the best part of the company. Everyone from Spencer, our CEO, to our newest members. It honestly feels more like a family than a company. Our sendoffs for employees leaving the company are just as big, if not bigger, than our welcome events. Employees really have a chance to take ownership of their work and their teams, and everyone has opportunities to influence the entire company.

      Cons

      There is a LOT to do in the real estate space and only so many hours in a day.

      Thanks for your review, companies are only successful because of the people and empowering them to take ownership is core to our success.

      Intern -> Full Time. Love coming into work everyday.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I'm highly engaged and get to work on what I like as well as learn something new everyday. Very very good work/life balance. My team is awesome and we have become friends outside of work. The progression from intern to full-time has been very smooth and everyone wants you to succeed. Our CEO is everything I'd want as the leader of our company.

      Cons

      A lot more focused on product than technology (lack of open-source projects). However there seems to be a growing interest in hosting tech gatherings. Would like better office-amenity-parity. The seattle office seems to have a lot more food choices, and fun spaces. That being said we get to have dogs. Greedily would like more scheduled free lunches (currently only offered on fridays, and whenever we have company meetings).

      Thank you for the great review. I'm happy to hear you are loving your work. The engineering intern program has been very successful . Please, if you have ideas for open-source projects or tech meetups share them with the team. - Tim
