RealPage Software Engineer II reviews

Too many employees left to keep things running had made it rough. Workloads high. Acquisitions are fast and furious, leaving lots of orgs in constant state of disorganization. None of the fun of a start up or venture backed firm.

- Pay is not competitive. There are arcane HR rules in place to cap off promotions. I had teammates (including myself) who were being paid significantly below market value. - Way too many meetings, many of which could just be cancelled in favor of communicating via email or IM. There were some days where I had 2-3 hours to get work done for the day because of the high volume of meetings. - Lack of investment in product development. Using a lot of outdated technologies and failing to innovate with legacy products. Some of the apps have early-2010's looking UI and performance issues. - Teams are understaffed and often overworked. Attrition was picking up when I left and they had no intention of backfilling those positions. There were tons of layoffs, while some of employees let go could be justified by performance there were also a fair amount that made no sense. Saw multiple top performers axed, which lead to voids in teams that remained unfilled. - Lots of context-switching to work in different tech stacks due to lack of investment in modernizing/improving existing applications. - Communication from senior management was very poor and attempts that were made were often out-of-touch with employees.
