RealPage reviews

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.

Biggest issue for mobile developers is that mobile development is not a priority at RealPage and there is no future there for native mobile. There is only one native app, and it is a very broken product. I dont believe the business cares about it, their only goal is to keep it barely functioning so that customers dont start canceling their contracts. It has a terrible crash rate, many bugs, and from the top level there is no initiation to fix these problems. The culture of the company is such that the priorities are 1) politics and ladder climbing 2) protect your job 3) make something better only if it directly benefits you and your career. They toss around the word 'innovation' all the time and it's more a way to compensate for lack of it. They buy out their competitors who innovate and then those products become stagnant. Ultimately you will not grow your skill sets here, you won't grow your career either. Plus it's a large company and your just a number. They keep having record breaking profit and constantly laying people off. You get two measly weeks of vacation, and as I was told "We here at RealPage value your vacation and family time, so we encourage you to take vacation by not letting you roll it over or paying it out when you leave". People were good, but the culture was not. If you're self motivated and someone who likes to learn and grow and pride yourself in doing rewarding and quality work, this is not the place for you.
