Pros

* Compensation was ok. * Nice building (theres even a starbucks on site).

Cons

* Tech decisions are dumb. "Lets unify around javascript and avoid using any and all frameworks" was the flavor of dumb that kept biting me but there was plenty of silliness emanating from the top. * Product focus on deadline driven features with little regard for the health of the application as a whole. * Tech decisions changed frequently. Before the no framework mandate there was a unify onto angular mandate (which is a lot better right?). The two mandates vied for power at the executive levels which delayed development. * Extremely high turnover. In the 2 years I was at Realpage I had 4 different bosses - a few were rotated in multiple times. * I was pitched a state of the art codebase and a lot of leeway to move in the direction I needed to make the product better. What was actually on the ground was an application built on EOL technologies

Thank you for your post and we do appreciate your feedback around Technology decisions. I asked Alok our new Tech leader and Barry our IT leader to take a look at this post. Like any SaaS company with a breadth and depth of a rich product portfolio, we cover a broad technology stack. We regularly introduce new products that use the latest/greatest technologies and technology approaches. We also have some products in our portfolio that we are revamping. Since we don’t know which part of our Product Portfolio you may have worked – it is hard to address your feedback directly. Also, we need to keep UI/UX of our entire portfolio current that can keep up with the fast-changing UI/UX technology landscape. We understand it may introduce change for our organization - however, it is also necessary for our business to remain nimble. You're right about the NOC update and we will take care of that. All the best, Kurt Twining

Pros

Professionalism means building a workplace where fairness, merit, and respect matter more than favoritism and office politics.

Cons

RealPage may be a good company on the surface, but working in RUM software development was an absolute nightmare. From what I saw, promotions went only to white employees, favoritism ran the team, and toxic office politics mattered more than skill, fairness, or basic professionalism. The Senior Director was shockingly unqualified and created an environment where favorites were protected while capable people were pushed aside. I’m relieved my time there is over. What I still don’t understand is why RealPage allows such a hostile culture to exist, a culture where bad leadership thrives, politics beat merit, and the worst people are the ones rewarded.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We take concerns around fairness, respect, and leadership seriously, and your perspective matters. Since you’re a current employee, we encourage you to connect with your HR partner or another trusted member of the HR team so your concerns can be heard directly and looked into through the right channels. We want every employee to feel valued, supported, and treated fairly, and your feedback is helpful as we continue working toward that standard.
