Pros

Alarm.com has allowed me to plant roots and really develop as a professional. I find that company leadership allows our team freedom and flexibility to innovate and the resources to be an industry leader. I’ve had 3 other full time jobs and those experiences leave me a little shocked to see some of these negative reviews. Alarm is by far the most positive company culture and best benefits package I’ve had. I’ve received two promotions in 6 years and 4 pay increases. The handling of the Covid-19 response has been great and overall I have nothing but good things to say.

Cons

From reading other reviews, it’s obvious that your manager plays a big part in your satisfaction. I hope HR and management take a look at how we develop our managers and investing in leadership development. I would also advocate for better parental leave benefits, especially for non birth parents.

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.
