Great Tech Talent but ineffective mid level managers

Pros

Great Tech stack. Good Engineers. Free snacks and Fruits.

Cons

Most Mid level managers are ineffective and make poor decisions. Caring for employees is one thing and pretending to be caring is another. The culture has more imposters than genuine Leaders. No Bonus at all. Work from home policy is Terrible. Leadership has no trust in employees and unwilling to make exceptions. These three reasons cause a lot of frustration and great Tech talent leaves the company.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our work environment is best when we're collaborating and innovating with each other, in the office. We do support the occasional need to work from home, which can be discussed with managers. We also provide flexible and generous time off and sick day policies that enable employees to better balance work and life. I encourage you to reach out directly to your HR Business Partner to help us understand your experience with management, so we can work together to improve it.

Pros

Competitive base salary, good RSU compensation. There are people who still care about the company. Snacks variety is great. Good health insurance.

Cons

Most of the best people have left. Politics and some really nasty egomaniacs. No ESPP. Lunch is free only a few times a month.

Pros

TRULIA was an amazing place to work when it was still Trulia. Free snacks, and they get their employees drunk during office hours and let them drive home that way as well. Trulia's CEO Pete flint is a complete sell out to the new greedy CEO of Zillow, Spencer Rascoff. TRULIA AND ITS CORE VALUES ARE NOW NON-Existent: it's happy people, its happy customers, and it's happy environment has been demolished all together. Zillow is over saturating Trulia's markets and exposure for agents like their own company has done for years which is causing chaos in the real estate industry. Spencer also makes all employees chant a cult-like "saying" together in sync to praise him and his accomplishments at every company meeting. It's not only weird and extremely creepy, its completely unprofessional and demeaning to all people employed under him.

Cons

Since the merger with Zillow in August, everything downward spiraled out of control for reps AND agents. No warning of the immediate and EXTREME changes to each individual roles along with massive failure combining agent profiles/accounts. Agents are now being double/triple charged in just a few weeks, over drafting thousands bank accounts thousands of dollars while cutting top brokers exposures down by at least 80 percent. Rascoff has pathetically tried twisting this disaster of a merger into a "positive light" which they few of us left in this company with a brain see right through his lies. Recently Zillow has been weeding out Top Producing Trulia reps with irrational reasoning causing extreme panic around the entire sales floor - the reps who helped build Trulia from the ground up are getting the short end of this new merger. Comp plans "reward" fresh out of college 21 year old inexperienced kiddos that are currently being hired in the masses to replace the top, long term, high revenue producing Trulia reps at a much lower rate (they are ok making 2k a month because they don't know any better). There is very few of us left that have dedicated our hard work, blood sweat and tears into making what once was "trulia" an extremely successful company. We won't last long...and most of us are currently looking for better opportunities for a company that respects their employees AND their long term clients. Not to mention Zillow Stock is plummeting at a staggering rate. Another topic Spencer fails to discuss with the company employees at all. Very frustrating. BUT, it's probably a good job for you if 2k monthly sounds exciting to you, you live with your parents, are a part time junkie or advancing in you job from the restaurant/server industry to cold calling. Maybe. Good luck!

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you are so disgruntled. While integrating 2 companies, with over 1000 employees each, there is bound to be bumps in the road and areas of opportunity for us. But, some of your statements around our culture, customer focus and employee safety are not accurate. In fact our office of over 300 people recently scored the highest in employee satisfaction and we continue to be recognized as one of the top employers in Denver. Which explains why our employee retention and satisfaction are at all time highs. We are very excited about our future and I'd love to talk with you to help clear up some of the misconceptions and get you excited as well. I hope you are willing to reach out to to me and discuss your concerns at gbland@zillow.com or 303.801.8126. Greg Bland
