Pros

Cubes are large and have sliding doors Relaxed dress code Salary was within industry norm

Cons

-"Good ol' boys club" is the best way to describe management -Management is demeaning and plays favorites -Management does not understand the term "soft skills" -Not flexible with scheduling - working from home is frowned upon -Location is out in the middle of nowhere -Expectation that you work 24/7 -Yearly user group which takes 2 months of planning and preparation, all while doing your "normal" duties; no time-off granted even though the user group begins on a Sunday -Ridiculous amount of unnecessary meetings, leaving no time to do your "normal" duties -Management does not understand the concept of work/personal balance -Must take PTO for ice storm days versus working from home -Market themselves as a software company yet no one in management has a true software background (they all come from property management). The one manager who had a software background was fired as he tried to improve the process which would have made others at his level look foolish -People crying due to how management treats them is normal and something you see on a daily basis -HR is not confidential -If you don't come the property management sector, you are an outsider -People do not respect one another -Lots of bottom feeders that have been with the company for many years that do nothing and they have been prompted to positions they are not qualified for simply because of number of years they had been with the company -Very unorganized -7 days of PTO a year (plus standard holidays) -Management uses intimidation as a way to get things done -If you don't have PTO and you get sick, you are fired (no way to borrow PTO or have an unpaid sick day) -Implemented a "must be to the office by 8am" rule in order to weed people out -Poorly integrated products and constant bug fixing because the developer talent is the bottom of the bottom as all the smart ones start finding a way out the first day they are there -Unable to retain talent as products are so bad (bug fixing, poor integration)

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.
