Pros

RealPage has improved tremendously in the years that I have worked here. They listen and appreciate employee feedback at the overall corporate level. Benefits are good, especially if you work in one of the main offices with lots of amenities. (Gym, onsite café, covered parking)

Cons

You better adapt well to change because t happens constantly. Changes in titles, managers, SOP's, duties. Important updates don't always get communicated all the way down or across workgroups. Many things are on a need-to-know basis that I feel we need to know, but someone forgets to share or just doesn't think it affects the general workforce. If you work in a position that you receive bonuses as part of your compensation, the goals that you are given change every year. They have become much harder to get over the years because they are not based on how well you do your job, but how well others do theirs, so very hard to achieve. Management seems to have short term memory when it comes to knowing what is already on your plate as they continually push you to take on more than you can reasonably handle, without taking away other duties. You are just expected to take on more and maybe "next year" we can give you more of a bump in pay or a promotion. Management has favorites and it shows.

Thank you for your post. We did hold a town hall for just managers and went over the stock program in great detail. If you were not a part of an acquisition in 2019 or 2020, all of your vested and unvested equity will be bought out at $88.75 a share. There was a communication that was just sent out asking about where you wanted your funds directed, Hope this helps and feel free to call me at 4016 to discuss. Sincerely, Kurt Twining

Pros

Good engineering tooling. Talented engineers and teammates. Flexible remote work.

Cons

I ran one of RealPage's larger engineering product teams for three years, hiring and developing more than half of the engineering managers and engineers on my organization. I believed I was building something that mattered. Instead of promoting the person already doing the work, leadership hired a lateral engineering manager alongside me. Over time, responsibility stayed with me while authority and support shifted elsewhere. I became the person expected to absorb every problem. My first manager used me to fill every gap instead of developing me. I was expected to handle support, incident response, production releases, coding, architecture, project management, and people management—all at the same time. My second manager sidelined me, criticized me, and focused on replacing me instead of developing me. I was once told I was "lucky to be useful, or I wouldn't still be here." That statement summed up the culture. Leadership expected constant availability while frequently being unavailable themselves. When leadership was out, I was expected to cover. I spent over a year supporting both U.S. and India time zones, making true time off nearly impossible. RealPage has incredibly talented people, but talented employees cannot overcome a culture where managers are consumed instead of developed. I loved building teams. I just wish the company had valued the people who built them.

Thank you for sharing such a candid and detailed account of your experience. We're glad the engineering tools, talent, and flexibility of remote work stood out positively, and we take seriously what you've described about being stretched across responsibilities without matching authority or support. No manager should feel they have to absorb everything alone, and your point about developing managers rather than overloading them is well taken. We'd welcome the chance to understand your experience further—please consider reaching out to your HRBP so we can address this directly. Thank you for the years you have invested in building your team.
