Pros
The core product is a good product. Relaxed Work Atmosphere Fellow Employees were great to work with Good Benefits On the whole I enjoyed my time there despite what I am about to list in the cons section.
Cons
Upper management has a "we know best" philosophy. The people working with clients closely know the areas where improvement is needed and although management has an "open door policy" for feedback, that is really just an empty platitude. Lower level managers are given very little opportunity to innovate, are scapegoated, and replaced. Zurple is part of a larger conglomerate called Constellation Software. There are many good things about that such as access to capital for funding new projects and the ability to learn from the successes/failures of other business units. The downside is for a business such as Zurple that relies on partnerships with other businesses for things such as lead generation or home search tools there is no choice but to use the other business units at Constellation. There are undoubtedly better partners for those resources, but Zurple will never get access to them because they fall outside the Constellation family. I understand why this is the case, as it is more profitable for the corporation to stay in house for these resources. It is just unfortunate that a product as good as the Zurple product is hampered by the deficiencies of other brands in the corporation.
