I've given considerable thought to your comments pro and con. Lets take salaries first. Each year we do a wage analysis using the Radford Technology Survey, which is considered one of the leading technology surveys across the globe. Each job is benchmarked for competitiveness and reviewed by the functional leadership team. While we look at our jobs on a national basis, we think local. That is why there is a significant premium for jobs such as developers in San Francisco. We then build out pay ranges for each grade that are competitive to attract and retain our talent. If you would like to go deeper on your pay, comp ratio, or pay ranges, please give me a call or reach out to Steven Han at 972-820-3376.
I would need more data to respond to your technology is lacking comment as we continue to upgrade systems and process' on an ongoing basis.
As it relates to re-orgs, that seems like a generalization more than a fact. Setting that comment aside, it is not uncommon for RealPage to reorganize certain functions when it makes good business sense. For example, the company has acquired many new companies and they need to be integrated to maximize the efficiencies of scale. In addition, we have over 65 product families that are being built into solutions suites. It doesn't make any sense to have 65 separate divisions. Think about this in these terms. RealPage must align like type jobs, (i.e., recently engineering), to maximize how we work, what tools we buy, common customer experiences, integration of products and features, etc.
As for politics, I have no time for it, nor do my colleagues. Quite frankly, I don't see it very much and have always confronted it. Life is to short for that. We have real work to do. Again, thank you for your post. Kurt Twining 972-820-4016
