It is all a facade. Great building. They put on a good show but it is all downhill from there. - IT Technician RealPage Employee Review

Pros

Great building with lots of amenities Pay is decent but tends to be below that of similar companies A number of really good people work in the rank and file. Work/Life balance was good.

Cons

In 5 years of working there, my department went through almost 10 new directors and managers. Most never lasting over a year and all brought completely new directives and objectives to our department. My last director has been there over a year and I have never met him. My last manager has been with RealPage for 4 months and I never saw that manager before I left either, despite being in the department with the manager for 3 months. Benefits had gotten progressively worse and more expensive. Very little room for advancement. IT is treated like second class citizens. Despite being a company growing quickly, everyone in my department constantly feared for their job. Not because they were doing poorly but because of the constant turnover in management and outsourcing. Communication with employees in some departments is abysmal. Sometimes entire policies would change with very little thought or communication.

Thank you for your post. I'm glad you enjoyed work life balance, your co-workers and the current amenities. You're right, a nice building is just that if the work home is out of balance. Fortunately what you are describing is not the norm as RealPage's engagement scores are higher than the Fortune Most Admired benchmarks. Has IT undergone some changes, yes they have, and we are confident in Barry Carter's leadership and technology focus. On to the benefits comments, we have just confirmed our benefits portfolio for 2019 and what is offered and the cost structure is right on the norm for Fortune 500 companies. I agree with you that no one needs to work in an environment that has fear or nervousness. That we will take a deeper dive into. I can tell you that IT is a very respected function in the company. I can tell you that Barry and I have discussed this post and he is very committed to improving communication as it relates to town halls, departmental meetings and manager one on ones. I see that you have departed. If you would like to discuss any particulars, please give me a call at 972-820-4016. 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.
