Pros

1. 2 days a week, with no strict timings 2. Good and approachable colleagues 3. Can learn a lot of about Property Tech

Cons

1. Very Niche domain, hence limited exit opportunities 2. High turnover. I've never seen such a high attrition in any firm 3. They keep firing product leadership and never let them settle down. This is causing a lot of head ache in terms of clarity of work. Basically they're owned by PE firm so any work must be purely related to profits. 4. Their software is not great and quite buggy but they're almost a monopoly 5. They have free lunch but recently they have started a new app to book lunch. So basically you need to pre book the lunch a day before you go to office and you have to do it everytime or else they'll straight out deny lunch and dinner. They know that people will forget to book so that can cut costs. 6. Frequent Layoffs. The layoffs are often silent. People just vanish from teams. 7. Their annual hike cycle is from october to october. Meaning if you join in the beginning of the year, you'll never receive hike until next performance cycle. 8. HRs will try their best to lowball you. One of the tactics they use is that, One they agree on the pay, they'll come back and say some internal changes happened and reduce the pay by certain amount in the last minute.

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.
