Thank you for your post. I am reading your insightful comments and you have hit on several themes that are really important to everyone at RealPage. For starters, there is no doubt that people who work for RealPage are wonderful and do work hard and try their best. 100% believe that. We also believe that we must innovate our existing suite of solutions while capturing market share of customers that is why we do buy companies that compliment our existing portfolio. Our goal is to increase organic market share while delivering our core business expectations. Your right on making the products simpler and that is why the North Star goals of simplicity and innovation are so important to all of us. The goal in the future is to have them all be self provisioning where possible. That would be the ultimate point for our customers. The same can be said for melding products together. Your thinking is absolutely right here. Make them easy and delightful to use. That is what we continually work towards. As it relates to compensation, Bryan and I are not percentage capping promotions, they are all looked at against the market, their peers and where they stand within their range. We review promotion requests around the globe every two weeks. Equitable compensation or salary compression is a challenge for every company and it requires constant attention. We continually move people through the ranges, yet we do not publicize the personal nature of the action, again they come in with a recommendation every two weeks. I read a lot of glassdoor reviews and I can tell that you genuinely focused on the right things. Take care of your people and build great products. Where ever you landed, I hope it goes well for you. I do wish you nothing but the best. 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.
