Pros

Broad product suite for an industry where technology can really provide value. Aggressive acquirer of companies in vertical real estate management space.

Cons

Company size has grown past founding CEO's ability to manage in this modern age. Winn's direct reports are not willing to tell him the truth re: performance of products & need for investment; or too scared that their jobs are on the line, if they are honest about the state of products. No coordinated, comprehensive plan to deal with "technical debt" of acquired products. Processes and metrics are given lip service, but company is not investing in process definition and rank & file staffers to drive performance through metrics. They tend to hire and value real estate industry people over technologists. Winn wants to personally win from a higher stock price instead of having customers win through better products; he doesn't realize that the stock price is a result of providing true value to the customers.

Thank you for your post. I look for the wisdom in every post and I agree with several of your comments but maybe in a different light. For starters, there is no one who reports to Steve Winn who is afraid to speak up with a point of view, the four corners of discussion are put on the table on a regular basis. We have great products, that we can make better. We are moving to what I believe is a more operational company, as each division is now being looked at through a series of "alpha metrics" You are right in the fact that we can improve our products technically and that is the mantra, operationally excellence, brings about happy customers, happy customers buy more products. We are not perfect in this space, but the company is evolving. You do get the realities of business. Give the customers value and fix what you have. Your point is well taken, and I am encouraged that our leaders are being measured on just that. Again, thank you for your post. Kurt Twining

Thank you for your post. We have a variable match based on the organizations profitability. Each year the contribution is evaluated and it has paid out consistently over the last 10 years. We do have an excellent 401k plan with great choices under Milliman's guidance whose funds have out performed the market. On a personal note, I once worked for a company who had a defined match, but a terrible 401k provider, whose plan choices were "in house" funds. The returns were sub par. That is not the case with our plans.

"Real-Concerning"

Pros

The "cons" outweigh any potential "pros."

Cons

Look at the number of new hires each week. It is not because of company growth. The majority of new hires are because Realpage is a revolving door. Now why is it a revolving door? Management is unqualified and it is who you know and who is liked. Bonuses are only partially paid, if paid, and there is no logic to how. Stock price flucuates up and down in the same place. Many of my current co-workers talk about stock manipulation. Commissions are screwed up and not paid right. I was hopeful, but looking out like many of my co-workers.

Thank you for your post. Let me share with you an alternative perspective. We do hire a lot of people. In 2011 when I joined the company we had 1600 employees. Today we are closing in on 4100 employees. Almost every function we have is expanding. Promotions from the data that I can see are based on merit or business reasons and when a new manager gets in place, we deliver leadership training to help them exceed. Not all promotions are perfect and we recognize that and are not afraid to make changes. For the last two years bonus' have been paid out in Restricted Stock that you can keep or sell. Now, for Q2, 2015, even though the bonus plan is an annual plan the Board of Directors has approved a cash advance on the bonus plan because we had strong performance, The logic to individual bonus payouts has to do with your rank and rate and your division performance. Some employees outperformed their targets and received higher bonus payouts. So to say bonus' are partially paid is true as they are based on merit and not guaranteed. As far as stock manipulation, that is someone's mind working overtime and definitely not true. Commission plans are being simplified and watch for new exciting ways to earn money in the second half of the year for our sales team. Update: new incentives just announced. You seem jaded, but look past that and you will see a company that is continuing to perform. Thanks, Kurt Twining
