Vantaggi

- Great Benefits. 401K matching starting the first day, great health insurance, dog friendly office. - Company trying to redefine itself and their mission in a red ocean of competitors with a similar service. Opportunity to be part of a "turnaround story." - Interesting customer-facing product. Real estate is an undiscovered frontier full or opportunities to explore the intersection of technology and location/sense of place.

Svantaggi

- Zillow's intentions for Trulia as a business are unclear. Zillow has increasingly become more and more involved in the day-to-day operations of the business, which is confusing, as Zillow is a competitor. Trulia continues to lose market share to Realtor.com and Redfin. - Lack of a sense of urgency to fill key leadership roles. Several key leadership roles (like VP of product, VP of design) remained open for 8-12months. It's impossible to build great products when the right leadership is not in place. - Crippling technical debt results and an inability to execute on the strategy. Lion's share of the development work is used to pay down technical debt instead of developing new, differentiating features. Leaders talk ad nauseam about a new strategy that sounds great, but is nearly impossible to implement due to technical debt. - Anti-Agile. What to do and how to do it is dictated by executive leadership, especially from Zillow execs. The technical competence and organizational clarity that are required for teams to work effectively in an agile fashion do not exist, and the leadership does not philosophically behave in a way that aligns to agile ways of working. They are unwilling to surrender any sense of control. Teams feel disempowered and lack a sense of passion and personal investment in the work.

Risposta di Trulia

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’ve made many changes in the last quarter under my leadership that I believe address some of the concerns you raised. We are investing in a new tech stack to reduce debt. We have reorganized the product/engineering teams and established clear leaders for each group. These teams are empowered to develop their roadmaps and processes that best fit their groups with support from the Trulia executive team. I can’t speak for the past, but filling the VP of Product role is my number one priority and I’ve increased the capacity and quality of the recruiting process to find the right person for the role. I don’t view Zillow or other consumer brands within Zillow Group as competitors. I view them as teammates. We need to learn from each other and development complimentary products that appeal to a variety of consumers We have developed a strong and clear mission that differentiates us, and the leadership team is in full support of this purpose and is excited to execute. I would love to hear any other feedback you might have. Feel free to reach out to me, tim@trulia.com. Best of luck in your next role and continued development.
