Pros

They actually care about their employees' health through programs and healthy snacks. Great benefits. Flexible working environment.Really foster and celebrate innovations

Cons

It's very competitive so sometimes individuals forget it's a team effort. A little too metrics driven and not enough customer focus. Too much emphasis on advertising dollars.

Pros

1) The People - Down to earth, friendly, worldly, passionate and very very smart is how I would describe Trulians. People are always what makes a company great and Trulia has assembled an amazing crew of very cool folks who have a ton of energy and focus. It's also a very International which makes it all the better and a lot more interesting than most companies. Most of the management team isn't from the U.S. and it's built a culture that is extremely open minded and a lot of fun. 2) The Product - Trulia is one of those few sites that is really helpful, innovative, and is actually changing the crappy experience of buying, selling, and renting homes and making it much better. Revolutionizing the way real estate is done is something you can really get passionate about. 3) The Atmosphere - The atmosphere is lively, energetic, and just a fun place to be. Think bright colors, cool bikes racks, ping pong, hip kitchens with espresso machines etc. 4) The Business Model - There are a lot of start-ups out there that sound very sexy but, they just don't have a solid business model and are still figuring it all out. Trulia is way beyond that point - it's a solid profitable business that is rapidly growing. 5) Cool Events - First Friday of every month a fun happy hour, Mind, Body Spirit Day where there are tons of fun activities from biking, golf, yoga, surfing etc., Fun parties ( Summer party, Holiday party, and some very cool conference parties) 6) Benefits - Trulia has a very generous vacation plan. I guess that's what happens when both the founders are from Europe. They want people to take vacation and have balance. The co-founder is a hardcore triathlete who competes in Ironman's (and wins them). He takes time off to train and compete and really is open to employees taking time to vacation, take adventures, or of course go for a bike ride!

Cons

Easily the best company I've worked for and I've been working over 10 years for both very large and very small technology companies. I would say you need to ready for a fast paced environment that changes rapidly and for some people that is not always the best fit but, personally I like it since it keeps things exciting. Trulia hires people who can make an impact and they expect you to step up and if there is a challenge figure out how to solve it. It's still a very lean company in many areas even though we have grown significantly. As with any start-up there are still resource constraints but, that is part of being in a fast paced technology company.

Pros

The People - Almost all employees are super helpful, collaborative, friendly, and sharp! The passion people share for the company & industry is impressive and I haven't personally experienced this before. The company tends to celebrate everything! (social crowd) which makes for a fun environment. The workspace - Great location (near downtown SF), the office itself is open, light, there are kitchens in each area/department (stocked with drinks & snacks), and "the penthouse" (aka, top floor space) is reserved for recreational activities like Ping pong, videogames, happy hours, etc. The work - The company is making a big difference, applying cutting edge technologies to make residential real estate search more personalized, fun, simple, and interesting. Trulia's mobile products are impressive, and real estate agents seem to truly benefit from Trulia's ad products (selling well)

Cons

Cultural divides: The speed in which the company has built its Inside Sales teams started to create a seperate culture, one that worked different hours, had a different type of job (sales vs. development), and most people on these teams were pretty new to the company and didn't get entirely acclimated with the dev teams. There is tons of work to be done in this area as this team continues to grow.
