Pros

Laid back atmosphere. Nice workspace. Decent work/life balance but it all depends on your manager and group. There are some really terrible managers that play favorites, politic constantly, talk behind everyone's backs and only worry about making themselves look good. They rule by fear. There are some managers that really care about the employees and growing them professionally. They lead by example and want you to have a life outside of work. The groups/departments are drastically different. If you are lucky enough to land in a good group with a quality manager that wants you to succeed, hang on! They do exist.

Cons

Decent pay if you're coming off the street. Transferring within the company, ridiculous. Promotions don't mean you can make what your peers are making for the same job or the offer you'd have if you were an outside candidate. It means an increase that has to be approved by 10 people and probably won't get you anywhere near where it should. The company has a lot of growth and you can almost do nothing and keep your job. That being said, new positions are only added in India and the Philippines but the tasks assigned to them is embarrassing. Most of my peers in India have 10 more years of education or experience or both but they are given the tasks that a high school student could accomplish. They should be utilized more or they'll be bored and leave. Management is so top heavy!! And they reorganize the groups every 30 days or so! I know people who don't even know who they report to.

Pros

-Located in the SOMA district -Close to BART, MUNI, SF Giants Stadium -Contemporary open office space w/ Rooftop access (Comcast & PAC 12 Sports Building) -Many open positions due to HIGH attrition

Cons

-The environment stifles ingenuity and innovation -Salaries are not competitive in any market at any skill level -Benefits are based on the cost of living in Texas (Our free snack station was removed because it does not exist in TEXAS) -There is no CLEAR training program or career advancement road mapping -High attrition -Management openly discuss the personal affairs of subordinates -HR was brought in from “Bain Capital”…You know, Mitt’s company -Displaced management from acquisitions somehow end up leading new teams and verticals into the ground -Centralized sales teams are incentivized in absence of selling your products -Consumer products are developed independent of user research -Projects are routinely scraped after months of development -Morale is dehydrated. The running joke among employees new and tenured is “Take this job and shove it”. -Growth is inflated through acquisitions

Pros

Competitive salaries, flexible hours in SOME departments (depending on your supervisor).

Cons

No opportunities to move up the ladder even something like from Dev 2 to Dev 3. 90% of new hires are coming from the Philippines. There is a high turnover rate of developers. Developers in the US are forced to work early mornings and nights with the overseas people on a regular basis (anywhere from 2 days to 4 days a week is my experience). There is little production support from operations, with many issues coming directly to developers from the customers. This is mixed, some products have more support than others. WAY to much management, very top heavy company. This company really needs more developers and business analysts to support products. Very little employee appreciation shown through any sort of perks. Gym membership ($25 dollar monthly value) is the biggest... Technology being used is pretty old, Realpage needs to bite the bullet and rebuild many things from scratch. This company acquires several companies a year rather than build products from scratch but integrates them poorly. What ends up happening is that each individual company ends up working in a vacuum doing whatever they were doing before. Every once in a while there is push to integrate this product or that product with another (usually because clients complain), but these rarely go anywhere because there is no will or leadership to make it happen.
