Pros

Alarm was an absolute pleasure to work for and it all boils down to management. The supply chain team's managers demonstrated trust and confidence in their employees. They advocated for us, helped us when needed, and would always find the time to make sure we were able to meet our professional and personal goals. More broadly, the company was responsive to suggestions for improvement and really went out of its way to make sure everyone had a voice. I honestly don't care much about home electronics, but the genuine team culture at Alarm made me care about doing a good job.

Cons

Operationally the company stands to improve. The departments are siloed, making it challenging to ensure communications are reaching the correct stakeholders. Additionally, until recently there has been zero focus on sustainability.

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.
