Pros

Alarm.com has terrific people and you really feel part of a team. It's a very collaborative culture and you are able to get meaningful work done. Employees are trusted and challenged to improve things and innovate and not be satisfied with status quo. We have been the pioneers in our technology space and continue to put a focus on innovation. I really enjoy our senior leadership - they are good people and are rolling their sleeves up and contributing. I've been with other companies where the leadership is very disconnected and that is NOT the case here.

Cons

Things are really busy because we have a lot going on! It's exciting and I love being involved in so much but could be intense for people not used to a fast paced environment.

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.
