Pros
The people: very non-judgemental of your personal situation. The only thing that matters is that you are fired up about your job. No one cares about what specific hours you keep, though of course face time is valued. The people I've worked with are extremely friendly, passionate, and knowledgable...Great combination The product: everyone needs a home. Our tools to help get people in them are innovative (like commute maps) and work at scale. Perks: great benefits, food is often bought for everyone, nights in (boardgame night) and out (summer party), scheduled fun days, a kegerator on two floors, and plenty of adult beverages nearby. Good social scene. Some good snacks and drinks. The pay is good and commensurate with what you'd expect in the valley/SF Senior Management: has an excellent vision, are very transparent and approachable. They've created a great, open culture that's reflected by the fact that anyone can come up with an innovative idea and communicate it freely to anyone, even the CEO. Also there are no offices...just desks. That goes for senior management as well.
Cons
The main building is older and has crappy bathrooms, no AC, and slow elevators. However, the engineering team is moving across the street to more modern digs. I'd expect a whole lot more if we get a new building in the future...like views of the bay and bathrooms that can handle more than two people at one time. Conference rooms can be hard to book and we need more space

Pros
I have been working at the Denver office since we opened in February of 2011. I never dared imagine that an organization like this exists. They offer an abundant amount of love and coaching without micro managing. For you skeptical professionals that are out there, I was one of you just over 2 years ago. I waited and waited for the other shoe to drop but the fact of the matter is working at Trulia means lots of hard work that is rewarded with great pay, lots of fun, monthly happy hours, team outings, great benefits, tons of support and great opportunities for promotion. To be honest I do not remember the last time I woke up and was not excited about going to work (rare indeed).
Cons
If you hate change, Trulia is not for you. I have been in sales for over 10 years and am very accustomed to rapid change in pay, products and org structure but I have never seen anything like this. Having said that, a couple things to note: 1. In the past two years we have not had 1 change that did not make things abundantly better for the customers, employees and the business. 2. If you have a great idea, you may find yourself pitching it to VPs and rolling out within a week of thinking it. Innovation is probably the best part of the business. You are always heard and responded to. You will find yourself surrounded by tons of talented individuals. Con: makes it a challenge to stand out.
