Pros

Great work environment, wonderful colleagues, management very open to feedback, good work/life balance, competitive benefits

Cons

- The company markets to appeal to young, liberal applicants, but our client base is conservative and middle-aged. - The executive team also tends to lean conservative and is lacking some emotional intelligence. - Pay is low compared to competition and HR tends to block internal moves.

Pros

Although Alarm.com is growing a lot and creating more managerial positions, the overall mentality of a "matrix hierarchy" still reflects in all of the teams. All opinions are respected and even as a new engineer you have the opportunity to get involved in important projects and make big improvements to the codebase! There are also plenty of social events hosted by the company and everyone is very friendly and hangs out during lunch or after work!

Cons

Outdated architecture - the codebase is huge and they don't always prioritize code health and quality over shipping features (but they are working on it). Especially on my team, it felt like we never had time to work on the quality of the code and refactor things that were causing developer headaches. Often times I would find myself adding to really messy code, with no time to fix it because execs cared more about getting things out quickly than to do it the right way...
