Pros

Free Food, Juice and Coffee!

Cons

Please do not join this company. Many of the major reasons as listed below: 1. HR DOESN'T CARE - The positive comments here are actually forced comments by HR to new employees who are in probation period. Please ignore the positive review here. The worst HRs ever even the HRs at startup are helpful and approachable. 2. Worst upper management - There's no quality in leaders. They don't have a plan. They don't know how to save the company or strategize anything. When the appraisal time comes, they will only make negative points. They don't have a vision. They don't know how to create roadmaps but are proud to call themselves "Product" company. They have no proper roles & responsibilities and use the ground people to dump their tasks & micro manage. They fire anyone anytime without a backup & will expect you to pick all the responsibilities. They are ruining every body's career here. Pathetic culture. 3. "BEWARE" before joining - Run Run! There's no one to give you knowledge transfer as they have nothing in place. Also, you might think you have a job now but the company has no plans or career path for you because they won't know for which department you have been hired. Its like they will throw chits & add you to any department. If you join - make sure you have the best skill of "SOAPING." You will never know when they will fire you, even if its you first month or second month, so do not join here if you have family responsibilities. 4. Responsibilities change - OMG this one, its like drinking water, you login and your responsibilities have changed without even checking with you or any knowledge transfer. But you have defined milestones. The current major responsibility is "BAND AIDING" the product with soooooo many issues so that the world won't know its no more a product company. 5. Technology - I can understand the old product was built on tech stack that was 25 years old but what is concerning is that nobody thought of moving up with the changes in the world. When they realized, it was too late but for the sake of doing it, they moved to new tech stack which is again 8 years old. This being worked for even years now isn't stable because of which there are a lot of clients that left.

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.
