Pros

Most of the people I worked with were very nice. There are lots of women in power positions in the company which makes it appear it is easy for a woman to get ahead, however the level of politics will keep you from advancing.

Cons

I was significantly under paid for this position, although it is my fault for not negotiating higher. Upon leaving, even the recruitment people admitted I was underpaid, and congratulated themselves for getting me for such a bargain. That's no way to keep people.

Thank you for your post. We do have a lot of women in positions of leadership and deservingly so. That includes reporting to our CEO Steve Winn. A couple of things caught my eye on your post. Knowing that we review almost every promotion as a senior team, I'm not following your politics comment. A person's gender never comes up in these conversations. Having said that, I am really struggling with your last comment that the recruiters were congratulating themselves for getting you to work here for a bargain. That just does not make any sense to me, knowing how hard they work to find top notch people and they want people to stay and succeed. I will be following up on that comment today. I'm glad you liked most of the people you worked with and you believe the company has a positive outlook. We wish you well in your future endeavors, Sincerely, Kurt Twining

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.

Thank you for sharing such a candid and detailed account of your experience. We're glad the engineering tools, talent, and flexibility of remote work stood out positively, and we take seriously what you've described about being stretched across responsibilities without matching authority or support. No manager should feel they have to absorb everything alone, and your point about developing managers rather than overloading them is well taken. We'd welcome the chance to understand your experience further—please consider reaching out to your HRBP so we can address this directly. Thank you for the years you have invested in building your team.
