Pros

-They are located a short and easy walk from BART and MUNI - There is a beautiful roof garden where you can eat lunch -There are a few very decent folks left there, but more are leaving every day

Cons

-Intelligence is seen as a personal flaw - I was personally told by a SVP not to inform anybody in Texas of some of my skills as it would be regarded as threatening -SF management are short sighted, non-responsive, misguided, and inept and yet somehow keep getting promoted. -People are laid off and marched out seemingly randomly and humiliatingly -People who have no business managing themselves, much less 20 people, are somehow in charge -Projects and meetings are routinely cancelled without notice or justification -Salaries are not competitive in any market, at any skill level -Benefits are marginal -Management is dishonest -It is questionable whether upper management understands the technology they are singlehandedly directing -Employees are at best, disgruntled, and at worst chronically depressed to be working there -Badmouthing management occurs 24/7 -Toxic work environment

Pros

Good engineering tooling. Talented engineers and teammates. Flexible remote work.

Cons

I ran one of RealPage's larger engineering product teams for three years, hiring and developing more than half of the engineering managers and engineers on my organization. I believed I was building something that mattered. Instead of promoting the person already doing the work, leadership hired a lateral engineering manager alongside me. Over time, responsibility stayed with me while authority and support shifted elsewhere. I became the person expected to absorb every problem. My first manager used me to fill every gap instead of developing me. I was expected to handle support, incident response, production releases, coding, architecture, project management, and people management—all at the same time. My second manager sidelined me, criticized me, and focused on replacing me instead of developing me. I was once told I was "lucky to be useful, or I wouldn't still be here." That statement summed up the culture. Leadership expected constant availability while frequently being unavailable themselves. When leadership was out, I was expected to cover. I spent over a year supporting both U.S. and India time zones, making true time off nearly impossible. RealPage has incredibly talented people, but talented employees cannot overcome a culture where managers are consumed instead of developed. I loved building teams. I just wish the company had valued the people who built them.
