      Pros

      Great company that allows all of their employees to be innovative. They care about what each employee thinks about the company and features/products. Culture is by far the best I've ever experienced.

      Cons

      Pay could be more competitive.

      Pros

      Alarm.com is a special place to work. The entire organization works hard to select the right people, and the result is a positive culture with fantastic coworkers who end up being great friends. Since the company is so small, even younger employees like myself are given a large amount of responsibility and ownership right out of the gates. This is at the same time challenging and refreshing. I recently left Alarm.com to pursue an MBA at a top business school. My managers were incredibly supportive in helping me apply to business school and pursue other career goals. Since diving into the to Bay Area tech ecosystem over the last few months, I can confidently say that the culture, people, and work being done at Alarm.com stacks up favorably with even the best companies on the west coast.

      Cons

      Alarm.com is an innovative startup with a flat organizational structure. Although there are many benefits to this approach, the lack of clear hierarchy can sometimes make it difficult to align organizational objectives and to successfully push projects forward.

      Pros

      One of the first security industries internet-of-things companies with a track record of about 15 years.

      Cons

      New employees when hired make at least 15K a year than employees that have been here for years. The company seems to have totally and fully are onboard with desiring to be like it's former owner as it hires management from that company. These upper level hires have micro management and trust issues. The company they came from has a very low rating and has issues in it's present and past. Why these people are view as highly as they are is a mystery. The company had a very unique culture as of about 2 years ago. There are also innovation issues. Still attempting to improve antiquated solutions. If the company continue this path we will loose ground in a rapidly changing internet-of-things world. We should explore a Google car model. Be ahead of the curb. There also is no real instruction for new hires. It seems that you go to a 2 week "boot camp" afterwards you are dropped off in the ocean with no boat or life raft. If you can swim, you will live, if not the prognosis is not good. The boot camp isn't hands-on or detailed to job performed as is. At present the new hire has to spend months deciphering how things work, when if trained properly can hit the ground running or at least more prepared.
