Pros

Really top notch benefits and great office. The engineering teams are kind, passionate and poised to execute. If you are focused on climbing a rickety corporate ladder, then this is a great place. Despite obstacles, I was able to build productive relationships, add value, and acquire great experience, hence the 2 stars given.

Cons

If you want to build or support a great product, then this might not be the place for you. Trulia struggled through all of 2017 to hire a VP Product, meanwhile losing some exemplary managers. The differentiating vision of a "vibrant neighborhood community" is fading fast, as actual product changes are weak. Ask hard questions if you interview here. Ask to SEE what they've done lately, don't settle for the PR version. Ask if there is more than a subtle chance that Zillow will swallow Trulia.

Hi, Thank you for the review. This is Spencer, the CEO of Zillow Group (parent company of Trulia). First, let me agree with one of your points -- there has been a lot of change at Trulia. We have changed the leadership there, and have mostly an all new executive team. I am extremely confident in the new leadership at Trulia. I am also confident in the product direction and product strategy. (I'm not going to elaborate here on the strategy since I know that competitors read these reviews!) Trulia is currently the 3rd largest real estate site on the web and is in a position to become the 2nd (or even the 1st) most visited real estate site. Trulia is doing innovative work and has the full support and backing of Zillow Group which gives it the resources and latitude to build great products that make a difference.

Pros

Amazing benefits. Great culture. Very smart, friendly people. Lots of events to meet people at. Good management. People here really care about you, and it is evident. Discretionary Time Off is also nice.

Cons

Engineering standards/standards in general are not very clearly set, and there are a few unsavory characters.

Pros

Trulia has a great equity and belonging program (aka diversity and inclusion). I've never seen the level of support at other companies as I see here. The company also invests in the people - for instance, we just all went to Seattle for an internal company conference. It was a great experience and I got to meet several Seattle colleagues for the first time and have meetings scheduled for future conversations. The vast majority of people I reach out to are happy to answer questions or help out on projects. People care about the work that they do and the company is actively encouraging innovation and collaboration.

Cons

As for cons, I've heard there's an old code base, but there was a re-org a little bit ago and everyone I've talked to feels like it'll improve things.
