Buildium Reviews

Pros

Great people created this company. Some execs are still there and fight to maintain original Buildium culture. Inviting culture to develop skills. The Buildium execs care about you as a person and have great reputations in Boston and beyond. You won’t get a better culture than this. Believe me. 5 stars for the foundation put into place. However, realpage Acquisition caused massive change (along with the pandemic)

Cons

Chris is no longer the CEO. Dana Jones is. Benefits are ok. Those changed. Realpage TX leadership is like... the family member from the south who is really really rich...but also sort of slow...but had a good job on wall street in the 90s...but now has no skills of modern day value ...you’re only nice to them at the fam BBQ in hopes they slip you a few hundy bills... but in reality, you only see them once a year so any relationship is just surface level.

Pros

Fun team, little bit fratty at times but that comes with the territory, if you're not totally antisocial you'll make friends and fit in well. Workload isn't bad at all, flexible wfh and pto options. Salary is average and realpage benefits kinda blow, the real draw is that you can move up the ladder and grow your career fast. In sales you can go from entry level making 35k to SC making 100k in about a year. Its a great place to get going and find what you're good at, and have a good time doing it.

Cons

Realpage is meh and the acquisition is still being ironed out, processes are a little screwy but getting under control. Their benefits blow compared to what they were when Buildium was independent I wont sugarcoat it.

Pros

You get to work with the customers who are pretty cooll. They are Small Business Owners and what Buildium provides can help them be better. I mean, that is really incredible. What I produce could change their lives. You have the chance to work with colleagues that are so special that I sometimes cannot believe it. Maybe I should give five stars just because of that. Patrick R is the best Engineering executive I ever worked for. I left for outside of work reasons. If my situation was different, I would have stayed and worked for Patrick forever. It's everyone together. Yes there is some tech vs non-tech function friction - but that's okay. At the end of the day we're all humans and we want to win and get it together. (The human part? We talked about it and discussed it every single day - FOR REAL.)

Cons

What's happening in Boston tech > What's happening in Dallas (where RealPage is headquartered). So...salaries and benefits in Boston HAVE TO BE > what is happening in Dallas. We just were getting settled in an awesome new office space --> then the pandemic hit and the world became ZOOOM. Super hard for a company that values live humans so much.

Pros

The company culture is great. Really shows they take employee engagement and team health seriously. Tons of opportunity and lots of hiring even through the pandemic. Managers are really supportive.

Cons

Some more bureaucracy with being part of a large company. Benefits could be better. Some projects are a pain due to poor decisions from business leaders.

Pros

Nothing anymore. RealPage Ruined it

Cons

Where to start.. The email system is trash and makes you change your password every 3 days. Quota is impossible to hit because management has over hired. Sales team reports growth or close to growth each month but every the team averages 60% to quota LOL. Severely underpaid but the worst part is how they talk about how “generous they are” or how “people would kill to get this job in Boston” such a laughing stock now They are unclear with covid. They want us to go back into the office then they tell us we don’t have to then they tell us we have to. Make up your damn minds. Realpage has people jumping through hoops.

Pros

They try to make work a fun place. This must be a lot harder without the office

Cons

Very sports and male oriented. CEO lambasted the diversity team at a company meeting when questioned about no one from senior management participated in any of its events. It was shocking and one of the reason I left.

Pros

- The most open, genuine, honest CEO I've ever worked with who feels confident enough to say, "I don't know" when we really need him to. - A fantastic executive team of experienced leaders who are the best in Boston - The company has thrived is the gave of being acquired last year, through the pandemic, and now the parent company being acquired - You want to learn how to have a great career? Work here.

Cons

- There is so much unknown now that our parent company has been acquired. I can only imagine what our CEO and executives are going through. - The culture is so strong that, strangely, people may not really understand the change that's coming.

Pros

Leadership really cares about providing a good experience for developers and ensuring that their concerns are heard. Internal guilds and chapters ensure that developers can use their 30% time to drive down issues they find most important. Buildium leadership does a good job of holding fundraisers, donations, drives and events for the local community. Yearly contributions to MS Ride, donations to food banks, bi-yearly volunteer days and local events. Management is willing to go to bat for you if you find something they can change and will actively work to keep you onboard and happy. Overall anything that Buildium has control of is exactly what you'd want from a company.

Cons

Benefits are subpar for the current norm. Insurance and 401k matches were degraded from first acquisition last year. Recent acquisitions have rocked the boat. Some instability as people realized they could go somewhere stable with better benefits.
