Pros

free food, commuter benefits, Health

Cons

In short a lot that you can count. I am highlighting a few. .... To start with, politics and favoritisms are two big things which is letting Trulia down. So many people are leaving and Management is so scared that they are not allowing them to write a farewell mail to their colleagues. Its has become boy's club. Constantly changing directing and technology is killing the productivity. Zillow's biggest mistake is Trulia. Work from home is a myth and non existing. (Do not be fooled if your recruiter tells you it exists)

Trulia is an important part of the Zillow Group’s portfolio of brands and I am excited about the new, modern architecture that is being put in place. People join and leave the company, including the Trulia team, for a variety of reasons and we take each instance seriously. As a company, we’re doing some new things and that has impacted the direction of the broader team, which I believe shows an ability to be nimble when the business opportunities are promising. The leadership team has been working closely with us as we navigate these changes, and we will continue to be transparent. I don’t see or hear about the “boys club” you are referring to. I’d welcome a conversation with you or others who want to discuss the challenges you are seeing and things we could do to help. We don’t have a work from home policy and prefer employees to be in our offices, working collaboratively with their teammates. Of course, we encourage employees to work with their managers as we understand there are circumstances that don’t support traditional work hours in the office and can allow for certain flexibility as appropriate. I’d like to see every employee have a positive work experience and environment. I hope you reach out to me so we can discuss your concerns further. davebei@zillowgroup.com

Pros

The benefits were outstanding and the hours were great - but it's simply a call center disguised as an office.

Cons

Everything else. Upper and mid-level management are micro-managers who are clueless about selling the product and motivating their teams. The product is a joke....Agents beware: 100% of a market means nothing. Waitlists are misleading and there's probably a good reason why your zip opened up - someone else let go of it because it did not work for them! Quotas are unrealistic and change regularly. Rarely are they shared until the month has already started. This company was a pleasure to work for at first. Then greed set it and the entire culture changed. The only people / employees who are making money are the shareholders, managers and salaried employees. If you are considering a sales position at Trulia, you would be better off applying at McDonald's because that's about how much you will make with your hourly wage and NO commission paid!

Pros

There are some amazing people there. I love coming to work to see them. I love the work I'm doing- when I get to do it.

Cons

The upper level management seems to exist on its own island, far away from anything else. Their decisions lately have seemed arbitrary or poorly communicated. They spend more time worrying about what each other thinks then thinking about helping or working with or managing their employees, which leaves most middle management feeling a little aimless and frustrated, which of course trickles down. The highest level management seems to move too fast and lack focus, which leads me and others to think they are making fear-based decisions, which is bad for morale. Feedback is also given in a condescending, confrontational manner, which is really not necessary.
