Pros

Great working environment and easy-going culture Collaboration is encouraged and easy. Some of the best managers I've ever had. Great cafe in the building provides cheap and good food. Plenty of options to move up and around to different teams.

Cons

Pay is low and there are no bonuses for regular employees. Vacation days are very limited and don't roll over. There is a gym, but it's not free. They don't offer a 401k match for regular employees.

Thank you for your post. Your Pro comments point out of a very balanced view of the work environment. I want to thank you for that as we are trying very hard to train great managers and give employees the options they deserve. On the con side, lets look at each mention. 1) Pay in almost all cases is very near or on the Redford benchmarks for each position. Yes, there will always be employees higher or lower in the range. I would be happy to review your situation with you confidentially. The bonus program starts at grade 13, however we have several hundred employees on performance based plans the pay out quarterly based on certain customer facing positions. 2) We front load everyone's vacation at the beginning of the year and offer 2 weeks at the start, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 10 years. This is quite consistent with most companies. 3) Yes, we ask that employees that use the gym which has personal trainers to pay $10 a month for a towel service. 4) We do have a discretionary match on our 401k plan that has paid out an increasing number year after year for over 10 years. In 2019, the vesting period is being reduced from 20% each year over 5 years down to 33% each year over 3 years. Please take me up your compensation review ayc....X4016. 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.
