Pros

I worked at Trulia from Dec of 2013 until they were acquired by Zillow. It was a great company with a fast pace and some of the best coworkers I have ever had.

Cons

After the announcement of the Zillow acquisition, work slowed to a crawl, as we were awaiting the inevitable acquisition.

Pros

The Zillow brand has a strong management team. Spencer has a clear vision for the future of Zillow Group and does a great job communicating it during all hands meetings. The Zillow Group benefits package is one of the most competitive in tech.

Cons

On the Trulia brand, the management team is not strong. Since the Zillow acquisition, morale has been low among Trulia employees in the San Francisco office. Trulia's management team is aware of it, but aims to suppress information instead of trying to address the problem. Here are two examples: -Historically, departing employees sent a goodbye email to the entire company. After the Zillow acquisition, employee turnover and goodbye emails increased. Trulia management thought it brought unwanted attention to the fact that many employees were quitting every week, and directed managers to prevent their departing employees from sending goodbye emails. -Since the acquisition, Trulia's management team has fired numerous employees. This by itself is not necessarily bad, but on multiple occasions the employee's co-workers were never notified, and in an extreme case, people didn't realize for over a week that someone was fired.

Thanks for taking the time to write feedback. Employee feedback shows that morale at Trulia is strong and continues to increase in the year since we’ve become part of Zillow Group. Take a look here at just one indicator: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Trulia-Reviews-E226815.htm#trends-overallRating You make some good points about communicating when people leave the company. Our goal is to make sure people are informed, but it can be a bit tricky, especially when there are HR issues in play, as we want to protect employees’ privacy and not over-share. I think we can do a better job with this. Your feedback is helpful. If you would like to discuss this further, please email me and I would be happy to hear your suggestions. - Paul (President of Trulia)

Great place to work

Pros

Once you leave, you get a true appreciation for how great the environment was. Every company will have some positive and negative, but for sure the people and the culture was the best I've ever experienced.

Cons

Not much to say here. Minor office politics and growing pains but that was to be expected. Glad to see they finally cleared out the orange demon that was polarizing that place.

Hello and thank you for the great feedback! I'm glad to hear your experiences with the people and culture were so positive. Agree, sometimes you don't know how great something is, until you've had other experiences. I appreciate you acknowledging that. We certainly aren't perfect, but we work hard to keep making things better. Thanks again! Greg Bland, VP Sales & Denver Office Leader
