Pros

ADC has a wonderful culture for a workplace. Employees easily communicate with each other, It is highly people-oriented, you feel like you are a part of a big family from the day 1 and you can be sure that your voice can be heard no matter how ambitious your plans are. Level of care for employees from the upper-management is unbelievably high. For example They will support you fully if you want to get a new certificate or participate in a workshop that helps you do your job better and/or gives you a better chance to grow in your career path in general. During this Covid-19 pandemic which most of the employees WFH, managers continuously communicate with you to make sure you are all set to do your job and provide everything you need to boost your comfort and performance while you are WFH, no matter if it is computer equipments, home-office furniture or tips that can help you improve your learning opportunities and performance. Also CEO sends several emails every month to make sure all employees are aware of company's situation and are up-to-date regarding what will be coming next. Alarm.com also offers great benefit plans which is very competitive comparing to all other companies I have ever worked for. HQ office based in Vienna, VA is completely inline with North California office styles and offers you a lot of entertainment, hobbies and fun things to do in order to not being overwhelmed with tasks and improve your performance (Oxygen room, Cave room, Ping pong tables, video games,etc) I strongly recommend working for Alarm.com if you are looking to work for a top-notch company in Tech that values all of its employees.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind for now but review will be updated in the future.

Pros

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
