Pros

Pay was fair for the Dallas market Healthcare benefits were not bad Carrollton location was good

Cons

I was excited to come to RealPage upon being recruited, and given the opportunity to perform in a brand new role within a new part of the company. However, in the short amount of time there, I went through several managers (for several months I had no leadership at all) and dealt with and witnessed some very disturbing behavior by senior leadership. Myself, and several other females I spoke with dealt with rampant sexual harassment and sexism. At one meeting, a very high level (C suite level) employee physically touched me, completely unsolicited (in case that needs to be made clear). Luckily he is no longer working there, however I don't believe it had anything to do with his gross behavior. They fired a previous employee for behavior that was so vile for so long, that everyone was stunned to see they recently rehired him with a huge increase in pay. From what I understand, he was fired on the floor because one of the decent people in senior leadership overheard him make a truly crude comment about another employees body. Never mind the long list of HR complaints for sexual harassment and xenophobia (made a terrible comment to a Muslim team member). Very, very sad to see the inside of how RealPage works, and terribly disappointed. It doesn't seem to make too much of a difference as they are still a successful company. If you are a female, I would look somewhere else until RealPage makes some big changes.

Thank you for your post. I appreciate and agree with you that we have the potential to hire and retain really great talent. It is something we strive to do every day. Based on your advice I discussed your comment that HR was not addressing abhorrent complaints with several HR Directors. They categorically said that was not the case. In fact they stated they take it very seriously. It should be pointed out that in the United States we have 10 Employee Relations Directors and Managers of which 8 of them are women and the only 2 men are both in South Carolina and your comments are not coming from there. I am clearly not saying that you did not witness or experience bad behavior, I am reacting based on my team's comments that they do take issues very seriously. The person you stated touched you has left the company. The other person you are mentioning was terminated on 5/12/15, almost three years ago . When I heard the comments that he made and confirmed we acted. After 1.5 years away from RealPage a manager asked to hire him back on the premise that he had changed his life around and that any further issue would be dealt him. Your notion we brought him back with a huge pay increase is not accurate. He came back in at lower level role without any "huge" pay increase. There have been no further incidents. In life sometimes people get a second chance, and when they do its really important that they act in a manner that is in the best interest of all. . By hiring him back it did not mean we condoned his actions, he had a 13 year track record of being a good employee. He is forever sorry for that bad day. For everyone reading this post we truly care about our work environment. I would like to share that all managers on a yearly basis are required to take and pass a class on sexual harassment, so this suggestion is in place. Finally, The highest scoring question on the most recent engagement survey with 4,482 responses was "I am treated with respect as an individual: 90% favorable, 6% neutral and 4% unfavorable. The third highest rated question was, "RealPage operates in an ethical manner: 87% favorable, 11% neutral and 3% unfavorable. These scores are much higher than the high performing company benchmarks, You certainly may have experienced bad behavior, and that is truly unfortunate, but it would be unfair to say that this is how we operate. These engagement scores do not reflect that at all. I sincerely hope you find a great working environment and that you never experience again what you stated above. If you or anyone associated with RealPage would like to discuss this topic please call me direct at 972-820-4016. All the best to you . Sincerely, Kurt Twining

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.
