Pros

Great customers, started out as a great product with a young dedicated team of leaders and bright hope for the future.

Cons

As PW moved towards being acquired (of course, employees knew nothing of this), the environment changed drastically, as is the case with any company in that position. What really stood out is their lack of respect for what I'd call their "bread and butter" customers. The ones who were not huge unit counts but reflected the majority of the business. In support, we were told that, in essence, they were at the bottom of the food chain. Larger customers, on the other hand, were treated as royalty (depending on unit count and influence). Almost weekly, they would release features at their request with minimal QA, often resulting in a disruptionwithin in the entire (web based) program, or alter a feature enough that it became useless to smaller customers. Updates were in bulk and almost never went smoothly, sometimes resulting is days of downtime and very angry customers to deal with. If you are an advocate of superior customer service, this is NOT the place for you.

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.
