Great place to work after college

Business Outlook

Pros

Super friendly office, pretty much 0 deadlines as an SE, company outings and events, and super flexible on schedule and moving around work for life events. Health insurance is good, and office is right by the metro stop which makes commuting great if you ride it. There are a lot of very smart engineers here and its a good place to start a career in software.

Cons

401k match is pretty low, paternal leave is abysmal at 2 weeks.

Pros

Alarm.com is fast-paced and customer-centric. I felt my on-boarding was really strong and my team lead cares about me as a person. The leadership team is always available and listens to our feedback. I come from retail and I like that here I have good benefits, paid vacation time and training and development opportunities.

Cons

Just your standard growing pains.
