Pros
- Alarm.com is a SUPER fun company to work for. Lots of events during the work day, quirky and neat office (hidden ping pong room for instance) - Great atmosphere, and genuinely great collaboration between co workers and teams
Cons
- The company likes to act like its Google or other big tech companies (root beer on tap!) but it is really quite traditional. Very hesitant to change, process improvements are met with tons of resistance. "This way has been working for us so far" - Comp and benefits are not very competitive, at least for my role. No equity, just base salary with a small bonus that was never the full amount. Only 2 weeks parental leave for non-birth parents? - Trying to advance upwards was very frustrating. No clear path, no feedback. You'd either not be promoted or get a surprise email saying you've been promoted out of the blue.
