Pros

There is absolutely NO pro to work for this company. They will lie to you, cheat you and generally screw you over.

Cons

If you like to work for/invest in a company that acquires companies and then cuts their new employees' stock options (you know, part of the original 'compensation package' they were hired with) by 90% AND ups the option price of their remaining few options by TEN TIMES... If you like to work for/invest in a company that acquires companies for their talent, then immediately scares all of the talent away... If you like to work for/invest in a company that acquires companies for their carefully developed and successful products, and then runs those products into the ground... If you like to work for/invest in a company that acquires companies and tells the employees they are safe in their location and will not close their offices, then closes all of those offices, fires everyone who is left and moves the jobs to Texas (of all places!)... If you like to work for/invest in a company that tell their employees they understand their values (specifically to their San Francisco employees whose companies they acquired for unknown reasons), and then immediately ignores that and projects their Texan 'values' onto them... If you like to work for/invest in a company that tells their salaried employees that they are required to be on a conference call (from home) at 7:00 AM, then come into the office for a full work day, then be online to assist offshore teams at 9:00 PM... If you like to work for/invest in a company that has a management team that is exponentially more stupid each level up you go, up to and including the CEO (this may be predictable, as the higher up they are, the more likely they are to be from Texas)... If you like to work for/invest in a company that has a reorganization of most levels of management every two months, because the board and CEO are too stupid to know where to place their stupid managers or what direction they want to go... Finally, if you like to work for/invest in a company that has a senile old CEO that owns a majority of the company stock so the board can do absolutely nothing without his approval... ...then STEALPAGE is the company for you! "StealPage -- We make all of your mistakes for you, so you don't have to!"

Pros

Get paid on time, Group I work with. You would think there would be more, but honestly, there just isn't.

Cons

There is a list... 1. Management - Have you ever heard the term "Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians" RP is the perfect example. At one time there were 6 managers, over a department of 12 people. And 5 out of those 6 managers were clueless, ineffectual, and actually caused me mental anguish. 2. Insurance - The insurance is decent, if you are coming from having no insurance, from paying for your own insurance, or from a staffing agency with 4 people insurance. For a company that claims to care about employees, they carry insurance that a company half their size would not purchase. 3. Culture - When there is a person, high up in the chain of command of your company that has a title of Chief People Officer? That tells you the culture. They want you to think they are cool, and fun, and with the times, when they really just want to push you to your breaking point, squeeze the soul and fun out of your job, and make you produce to a plan they have concocted but don't know how to execute it. They also love to say that they respect their clients. They do not. I honestly feel for any client of RP that has been sold on "Personal Interaction" You will have a person assigned to you that will be your Account Manager, he will also have 5 other clients he is responsible for, but really, he is the smoke blower, he will have to have meetings with other departments to make sure you get what you need done, those departments will drop the ball, and he will apologize profusely, promise to fix it, and take an extra 2 - 3 weeks of your life. 4. Metrics - This of course is not new in the IT Industry by any means. However, when you cannot quantify a task in metrics, the management is so dependent on them, their brains collide in a calamity of constant numbers reports and futile repetitive questions. I could go on. And for the record, RealPage is a large company, so they must be doing something right, but they outsource to the Phillipines to save a dime over quality, they force good employees to other companies because they need to make a Billion by 2020. And honestly, if you have ever wanted to dislike a company like Exxon, BP, or Halliburton? You know, a company that does what it can to get ahead, regardless of who or what it tramples over while pretending to be the good guys? RealPage is your perfect candidate.

Thank you for your post. You have been here for 8 years and you are clearly unhappy. I could share with you that RealPage just got its engagement scores back and as a company we are currently tracking above the scores of Fortune Most Admired companies, but that is not the experience that you are feeling. I could tell you that not one question went in a negative direction. I could tell you that the top two categories above 80% favorable where culture and diversity. If you would like to see what is happening culturally you may want to go to the RealPage Portal and see how we are expanding in our communities and will be donating money to charities that make a difference. We are a very competitive company that does live by the RealPage Promise. Look, you are not happy. You deserve to be happy in the role that you play in whatever company you chose to join. Let me buy you a lunch if you are willing and lets explore this. Sincerely, Kurt Twining X4016

Pros

I can't think of a single pro.

Cons

This company acquires companies and slowly kills them off. I was part of a GREAT company with amazing culture. RealPage acquired us. They assured us things wouldn't change that much, and no layoffs would occur. Then they slowly started cutting out our amazing culture committees. They slowly start breaking teams apart and laying off TONS of people after promising they would not. They tell you that your office space won't go away, then they wait a year and close offices down. They took away the amazing benefits offered by our original company (summer fridays, unlimited PTO, wellness stipends, etc). When I think evil corporations, I think RealPage. This company does not care about it's employees in any way, shape, or form. If you are part of a company being acquired by RealPage, I am so sorry. My advice is to start refreshing your resume and job searching soon, because you will most likely either quit because you're treated awfully, OR you'll be laid off, with a very small severance package, if any.
