RealPage Reviews

Pros

Good technical culture Great people Good place to get exposure to wide variety of tech Nice office, cafeteria, on site gym Good compensation and benefits.

Cons

If you are not comfortable with change, that may be a problem.

Pros

Depending on which of the many departments you work in, management is usually really good. Lots of talented folks and you get to meet so many new people. If you work in the Richardson office, the facilities are nice. Some average perks but not much.

Cons

RealPage is growing too fast for its employees to handle and this chain of effect is eventually felt by the clients. It is difficult for even the most tenured employees to keep up with all of the changes.

Pros

Work/Life Balance , Understanding of Family Needs

Cons

Sometimes processes are not as concrete as they need to be.

Pros

New leadership is creating a much better culture. My entire department is wonderful and leadership genuinely cares for you and you work harder for them because of it. I don't think I've ever loved a job more. I feel valued as a team member and love my leaders.

Cons

I've worked here many years and the company puts more value aka $$$ into new hires. The only negative I have is that there are a few people, including myself getting paid significantly less than others. If RealPage would invest in their current employees more, the loyalty would increase substantially. New hires come in making 20-30% more than you and the only reason given is "we can only give a certain percentage increase." Then you hear "we value you and the work you do." It doesn't add up.

Pros

Onsite cafe Onsite gym with trainers Onsite coffee bar Onsite game room Great career training program Lots of open positions

Cons

Chaos everywhere Growing toxic environment CIO that needs to be the smartest guy in the room and pitches a fit when someone smarter tries to correct him. Like, literal banging on tables and walking out of meetings. Tail wags the dog as Product teams dictate IT terms they have no business making, but you get stuck supporting whatever they want. If you're in a Cost Center good luck getting funded for tools that will actually help you get your job done effectively.

Pros

-Pretty chill environment, depending on the department. -Nice gym -On campus cafeteria -Walking trail -Challenging work, but in a good way, for the most part -They do a somewhat good job of finding you the right department if you don't fit in somewhere, as long as you're putting in a good/honest effort. You make great friends. I haven't worked there in awhile but I still speak to the people in my department, pretty much everyday.

Cons

-Depending on the department, it can be really stressful and chaotic. I was in the sales department and it was very cutthroat. I remember hearing a VP once say "I don't care how many people I have to hire and fire. I'll fire as many people as need be until I can find the right person that'll get the job done." They make it seem like you should be very grateful for the job. Sales can be very aggressive. However, I made friends in different departments outside of sales and they loved their jobs. -If they get a whiff of disloyalty, like if you're planning on leaving, they'll fire you right then and there. CEO, Steve Winn, cares more about company stock than anything else. I totally get it, it's your company and you want it to make your shareholders happy. That being said, it's the employees that make the company what it is. I remember Winn once ended a conference by saying "let's make that stock price $60 a share next year." That's not necessarily the best way to motivate people, at least not for me.

Pros

Somewhat decent pay and pseudo "appreciation" for employees i.e. pizza parties and contests with prizes.

Cons

You are just a number and not a person and you will be treated as if you are expendable.

Pros

1) Company Cafeteria 2 )The company is a roll-up play similar to Infor or CA, only for the rental housing industry. Not a pro necessarily - just the way it operates.

Cons

So many, where to begin? Highly toxic company culture is first and foremost. Sales processes / methodology / demo methodology is still stuck in the 1990's. Product sale (Feature/Function) centric. If you come from a Tier 1 Software / Infrastructure background, you will not be happy here - too many meetings, too much politics to actually get any real, positive change made. If you come from sitting in a apartment leasing office or are an accountant at CBRE, you might like this - change from what you're used to. Be aware though - toxic culture. Other items to keep in mind: 1. Abusive management - verbally abusive, intimidating and regularly making sexually suggestive comments about direct/indirect reports. This happens at the SVP, VP, and Principal levels. . 2. Public dressing downs and verbal abuse of employees - SVP / VP levels executing this. 3. SVP / VP / Industry Principals openly talking about their own comp packages with other employees and non-employees. 4. When told of the above issues - SVP and VP level does very little to address the issues. Employee retaliation occurs. When told of this by a trusted confidant - the CHRO / SVP of HR does nothing. At all. 5. Forced Stack Ranking system of employees. If you don't know what it is - ask the people you interview with specifically. 6. CEO has a "sleeping room" behind his office, and will sleep overnight at the office. Strange. Other reviewers mention lack of work/life balance - it starts at the top, by sleeping at the office. 7.Open Office Floor plan - This was all the rage around 2010, but over time it's borne out that it's desctructive to employee morale and productivity. It looks "cool", and will "seem fun", but the novelty wears off. Extremely noisy environment, zero personal space. HR will say that it improves collaboration - strongly disagree. Look at the research that's been coming out for the past 5 years about the negative impacts of this sort of environment. Plus - in a Covid-19 world, do you REALLY want to be 4 feet from your co-workers?

Pros

RealPage is huge and I can't speak for other divisions within the organization. I do feel lucky to have a boss that is easy to work with and very understanding. They have a gym onsite with trainers which i'm very appreciative of, and there is a good work life balance for the most part.

Cons

They push products before they are ready, and it's not the most organized company when it comes to their plans with products once they own them. For a SAAS company, there is alot that isn't automated which puts a heavy load of admin work on your plate. Pay isn't very competitive when moving positions internally. You have a lot more negotiation wiggle room when coming from outside the organization. They have no issue with low balling you. I've known people to move internally and get a significant raise, but it has to go through multiple approval processes and takes time, and you have to stand your ground.
