Pros

People are generally nice. Laid-back environment.

Cons

Realpage's OneSite platform is a horrible mismash of hacked together code. No OO. No best practices. No standards. Lots of legacy ASP code with bits and pieces of .NET grafted on here and there. This is not a .NET job despite what they said in the interview. The job is 100% bugfixing and support. No opportunity to learn or use new technologies. In my 3 months with the company, 3 developers were hired on my team and all 3 left for the same reasons which involved feelings that this would take their careers a giant step backwards. Buggy, bloated VBScript and Javascript without standards that is a nightmare to work on. Coworkers who've been there a while are generally not technically up to speed with the latest technologies. Expect to fall behind if you stay there for any length of time.

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.
