Pros

Extensive training, cool employee lunchroom, and game room, decent wage, bonus incentives, really friendly staff, comfortable work environment

Cons

Taking call after call all day can be stressful especially when all the caller wants is to get pricing. It's fun selling the apartment to each caller, but difficult when the caller doesn't care about what you're saying and they get frustrated. It defeats the purpose of having a service like this. I had MANY calls like this. You feel a little deceitful toward each caller too because you're acting like you're on property giving them directions and telling them what the apartment is near only for the caller to find out you're on the other side of the country. It really makes them angry. You also don't have exact pricing for the customer you can only give a range like $500-$1,000 so you basically waist their time after talking their ear off about the swimming pools and "mature landscaping".

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.
