Pros

Impressive office, great coworkers, decent pay.

Cons

RealPage was an unfortunate place to work due to the less than smart decision making from leadership. They offer a cliche, sitcom-worthy level representation of corporate America that gets real old, real fast. They push this “RealPage Promise” about being easier to do business with and putting clients first, etc. then practice the polar opposite in an almost deliberate fashion. I find these 5-star, “this is an amazing workplace!” reviews a bit suspect. That type of positive attitude doesn't exist. One of the hardest parts about working at RealPage was the huge void in employee pride and enthusiasm across the company, where no one felt like their contributions were impacting anything meaningful or expressed major satisfaction. In other instances, most were eager to say “no” at every suggestion to make an improvement because “that’s just how things are here," which was the foundation for an extremely gloomy culture. If you join RealPage as part of an acquisition, RUN! Run, as fast as you can. RealPage acquires 3 to 4 competitive businesses a year (it’s easier to buy the competition than make the products more competitive), and time after time it’s the same disastrous story--see Glassdoor reviews in the last 1 1/2 year as references. They’re awful at acquiring businesses, despite how much practice they’ve had, and I don’t suspect they’ll get any better at it.

Thank you for your post. I'm glad you found your co-workers to be great, the pay was decent and the facility which we worked very hard to create impressive. It's unfortunate that your work experience was not up to your expectations. I truly mean that. Fortunately, the vast majority of RealPage employees have a different work experience as our engagement scores are above Fortune's Most Admired. If you want to discuss your suggestions, I would appreciate the time and look forward to hearing from you. Please give me a call at x4016..I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Kurt Twining

Pros

Professionalism means building a workplace where fairness, merit, and respect matter more than favoritism and office politics.

Cons

RealPage may be a good company on the surface, but working in RUM software development was an absolute nightmare. From what I saw, promotions went only to white employees, favoritism ran the team, and toxic office politics mattered more than skill, fairness, or basic professionalism. The Senior Director was shockingly unqualified and created an environment where favorites were protected while capable people were pushed aside. I’m relieved my time there is over. What I still don’t understand is why RealPage allows such a hostile culture to exist, a culture where bad leadership thrives, politics beat merit, and the worst people are the ones rewarded.
