Pros

1. Products seem relevant in the market place. 2. If you are in technology, then you will get to work with the latest technology and there is a lot of scope to learn. 3. Many of the employees at the lower level who do all the work are hard-working and talented.

Cons

1. Horrible management - they don't care about employees. They are only interested in increasing their own pay checks and creating fictional positions to get themselves promoted. Many in the management even lack basic courtesy towards fellow employees. Managers often lie to their direct reports to retain them. 2. No work-life balance. Management believes in sucking the last drop of blood and sweat you have remaining in your system. Company runs extremely thin on resources in key technology areas and employees are over-burdened and under-appreciated. 3. Extremely high attrition rate. Many people leave the company within couple of months of getting hired. The company keeps losing talented individuals at an alarming rate. 4. Politics are much thicker than most other places. 5. Company does not have any organic growth, bottom-line is declining. The growth numbers shown by the company are only maintained due to acquisitions. 6. Communication by management is not just bad; it's non-existent.

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.
