Had initial phone call with hiring manager and was asked to come in for in-person interview. Interviewed with two sales managers, both of which were long-term employees of both Trulia and Market Leader. The person leading the interview asked what I thought of Trulia and as I mentioned a person who worked their I started to say "they seem to like it" but before I could finish my sentence was told "not to compare myself with _____" which I found somewhat offensive. They were also very adamant about me speaking like a normally would to a friend, asking somewhat odd questions to see how I would react. They both also made it clear that they track the times you work and go on breaks despite being on salary (which is lower than average) with a subtle expectation that you be passionate and loyal to the company before even being hired. I asked about employee retention as well as criticism about their business model and they seemed to get a bit defensive (news flash: I am interviewing your company just like you are interviewing me). I tried to keep the tone positive throughout, but overall, not a great experience. I definitely got the feeling they use sales people here, demanding long hours, high results and a high amount of brand loyalty.

Intensive. There are through background checks. FBI level. But they are really concerned not just in your ability to sell but to do so with honesty and integrity. They really want employees to stay with the company and invest in each others futures. They look for matches to their culture and ethical code
