Pros

READ THIS ASAP! I never lie to anyone ever and I would certainly never tell anyone to not work somewhere if I didn't mean it. I was a very excited employee coming here to real page. It was great with the training team. They made it seem like it was going to be a breeze. Not that i think every job would be easy, but NEVER in my life did I think I could hate something so much as this place. Any who, Well, we were supposed to have 3 or 4 weeks of training, well that fell through real quick. It was the 2 1/2 week of training and they were like okay were going to put you guys out on the floor. I was just thinking geez that is a little rather soon truthfully. But I just did as I was told. So about two days after I am finally on the floor to take calls by myself. Well, we of course had what was called team leads, and I had never met mine yet nor did they introduce their self just yet either. Well, I had a question (you know coming out of training I didn't know EVERYTHING) and asked ANOTHER team lead (still haven't met mine yet) a question, and she freaking snitched on me and told my team lead that I was asking her questions (even though she had already been emailing me everyday about what to do on calls) and this is the approach I get from my team lead finally, first time ever meeting her she says "My name is BLANK and I am your team lead, you do not EVER email another team lead, if you have any questions you come to me for everything, and only me because when you go to other team leads its going behind my back!" And I just looked at this lady like who are you?! And it was the worlds worst introduction ever! So I did just that, I always went to her for everything, and when I did she always had a sarcastic attitude behind her answer and made it seem like I should never ask another question again. She was mean, rude, sarcastic, she had her good moments when she wanted to but it did not last long. Other team leads were perfectly fine but her. I asked if I could switch teams and that never happened. I finally went to her manager and told her how extremely rude she was being and then for like 1 week my team lead played nice and offered me her break fast, and then was extremely rude to me AGAIN. So then, I just came to work and did my job, but eventually got very stressed out because of how I was being treated at work and what not. I ended up in the doctor a few times because of how stressed I was that I had to go back to that place to deal with her and not to mention horrendous customers over the phone.

Cons

Do not work for this company. Ever. Trust me and take my advice.

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.
