Pros

This is truly an ideal workplace. Within my own department, there is a great level of respect for one another and a healthy drive to succeed. However, the people I have met throughout the company are also ambitious, thoughtful young professionals. Our physical location is great. DC is a quick metro ride away, and the malls and restaurants nearby in Tysons Corner are a nice additional perk of working here. The company’s benefits are extremely good and show the real investment and interest that Alarm.com has in its employees’ health, wellness, and quality of life. Whether you are tech-savvy or not, the products that come from our engineers are incredible. Many of the in-home security devices are easy to use, and the company’s mobile app is equally impressive and clean. The quality of our products is one more reason to be proud to work here. There are many different kinds of social events that really set this company apart from others and improve and foster employee relations. From luncheons and sporting events to the yearly retreat, the company prioritizes maintaining and consistently bettering employee satisfaction. Your attire is more or less what you make it. Some people dress fairly casually while others sport the suit and tie look more often. The option to choose either style on any given day is nice. No matter your job within the company, you will have thorough training at the start of your employment so that you can learn about all facets of the company.

Cons

The location of the office means traffic can get a little chaotic around rush hour, but there are ways to minimize this issue.

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.
