Kontras
Biggest issue for mobile developers is that mobile development is not a priority at RealPage and there is no future there for native mobile. There is only one native app, and it is a very broken product. I dont believe the business cares about it, their only goal is to keep it barely functioning so that customers dont start canceling their contracts. It has a terrible crash rate, many bugs, and from the top level there is no initiation to fix these problems. The culture of the company is such that the priorities are 1) politics and ladder climbing 2) protect your job 3) make something better only if it directly benefits you and your career. They toss around the word 'innovation' all the time and it's more a way to compensate for lack of it. They buy out their competitors who innovate and then those products become stagnant. Ultimately you will not grow your skill sets here, you won't grow your career either. Plus it's a large company and your just a number. They keep having record breaking profit and constantly laying people off. You get two measly weeks of vacation, and as I was told "We here at RealPage value your vacation and family time, so we encourage you to take vacation by not letting you roll it over or paying it out when you leave". People were good, but the culture was not. If you're self motivated and someone who likes to learn and grow and pride yourself in doing rewarding and quality work, this is not the place for you.
Pros
Team work and collaboration is key within our team.

Kontras
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.
