Pros

None really. Pay may be better in other techy department.

Cons

Compensation raises are capped at 3% and are only awarded once a year. So if you're young & looking to see meaningful progress and growth in your career and pay, don't work here. Horrid healthcare, massive deductibles, 401k that charges fees, little to no match from company that they don't disclose details for until after the fact & only contribute once a year. So if you leave the company before their contribution date, you won't benefit from it. But you'll still pay the fees. They also cowardly fire upper management that attempt to advocate for employees. Pretty disappointing all together. Stephen is known to be a little coo coo & all over the place.

First, thank you for your post and would 100% agree with your advice to Management. If you are willing, I would like to have a lunch with you and walk you through your cons as for some reason, you're not being shared the whole picture. For example, we don't cap raises at 3% and we give off cycle promotions and raises every month to people who change roles. Our Healthcare has been benchmarked by Lockton and is not horrid, it pays at 100% when the deductible has been met. So if you want lower deductibles then you will be happy to know those plans will be offered in 2020. We just moved everyone to Vanguard as our 401k provider, they are a best in class solution. Yes, we do have a discretionary match that has been given out every year at a higher number. Look, I could go on, let's break some bread together and have a good conversation about the pros and cons. 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.
