      Software Engineer Interview

      6 Nov 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Trulia (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      I handed over a resume at a college career fair, and they emailed and invited me to one of two onsite group interviews the following week. The day I went there were maybe twenty other people invited, also from various college career fairs. There were several employees from the company, including the VP of Engineering if I remember correctly, who were there to meet us/participate in and run the interview. They said they weren't concerned with our programming abilities, perhaps they've already screened for that in our resumes/etc., but they wanted to see our teamwork abilities and ideas for the company. So they split us up into groups of four, and gave us ~2 hrs to come up with ideas to improve their products and/or expand their consumer base and/or increase profits, after which we present our ideas. More employees arrived to listen to our presentations and ask us questions about our ideas and how to implement them on a surface level. A few days later, a recruiter followed up with questions on how I felt about the interview and what I thought of my team and etc, and soon afterwards they emailed those (including me) they weren't interested in interviewing further. When I interviewed with Trulia it was the first time they were hiring interns, so the process may change significantly from my experience.

      Question 1

      This entire interview was pretty unexpected and completely different from the usual programming questions for technical interviews.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Trulia (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      I applied for backend Software Engineering position. I had a phone call with a recruiter who asked basic questions on my profile and work. After couple of days, I was provided with a java coding assignment which I had to complete in 3 days. I worked on the exercise for about 3 hours and made sure I answered with as much details as I can and replied back to the recruiter with the completed assignment in given time. About a week passed and I sent another message to the recruiter requesting for update. He mentioned I will hear back soon. But since then, 2 more weeks have passed and never heard back anything. Even if it was a reject from the team, they should atleast let their candidates know about it since they take time and effort to complete your assignments. I think of this as a very careless attitude and doesn't portray good cultural values of the company.

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Trulia (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn and explained a little bit about Trulia and what their mission statement was. Shortly after, I had a phone screen with the manager. He asked very relevant questions about modern technologies that are used on a day-to-day basis in a full-stack role. After the phone interview, I went in person to the office. It took roughly 4 to 5 hours, but all of the interviewers were prompt and communicative. Overall I had an amazing interview experience and hope that more companies interview candidates as Trulia does.
