Pros
Decent handling of the pandemic, I felt that the company prioritized employee safety and I am grateful that they did not rush us back to the office in the middle of the pandemic. Access to educational materials and you can gain some good skills to lead to better things. Before Thoma Bravo, I would've said this is a good stepping stone job Great colleagues on the production and development side who are always willing to help out
Cons
Salaries are completely all over the place with many overworked technical production staff being severely underpaid while client services managers who contribute nothing make a healthy six figures. Developers, analysts, and other technical staff are often leaving for huge bumps in salary because the company is too cheap to offer competitive wages and benefits. The HR rep loves to respond to reviews saying salaries and benefits are benchmarked to be average which is quite fitting...RealPage strives to be nothing more than average and still misses the mark entirely. Tons of layoffs happening and the company is hemorrhaging talent. The company was already pushing to offshore as much as possible before the Thoma Bravo acquisition and quality was already taking a nosedive...now after seeing several rounds of layoffs, many talented employees are taking their futures into their own hands and choosing to leave on their own. They also seem to put no real effort in choosing who is next on the chopping block--some people have horrendous reputations for being lazy and doing no work yet are kept around while others that have worked hard for years are suddenly let go while you are in the middle of working with them on something The reviewer that mentioned this place is stuck is 1998 is dead on, bloated middle management riding on the hard work of bottom line production. So much pointless red tape and bureaucracy that completely stifles any real innovation. Between the themes of offshoring and the company being too cheap to invest in real talent, I would not suggest any motivated tech professional looking to grow their career work at RealPage.
