Pros

-Free coffee & fruits, twice a week -Taxi ride back home (for the shifts ending after 10PM)

Cons

-Passive aggression: menacing mails aiming to organise your entire life up to the last detail: don't come late, clean your desk, work, work, work!!! Of course, it's only natural for a company to expect full engagement but those emails seemed targeted to everyone although only some people were late, showed disinterest etc. -Disrespect for personal wishes against business needs: I was witness to numerous cases in which people were simply announced they are to leave their current position for another one according to internal necessities. It didn't matter if the person did a good job or not. It didn't matter if the person liked its current occupation. In Yardi Matrix we were all pawns obeying the Queen. -Some senior members acting as gods. People were simply terrorized by their attitude and desire to make newbies seem inferior and simply stupid. -Lack of loyalty inside of teams: all processes should be based on collaboration between people but as there is no element of bonus associated with team success some people would gladly watch the others crash and burn and not move one finger to help them. It's everyone on its own, although the management constantly insists on the importance of a healthy, supportive team. -Unfairness in salary payment. One year of tenure in Yardi qualified me for a pay raise inferior to the salary of a newbie. Everyone hired after the April pay raise ended being paid more than people with seniority in the company, in a desperate attempt of the company to stimulate performance and decrease attrition. -Lack of clear personal advancement plan: Yardi constantly comments on the possibility of advancing in the company. Not true. Not true at all. As an internet researcher, you are a mere phone surveyor. You don't learn anything. There are no trainings available for employees. The only upward movement will happen if the manager will like you. Other than this, there are only lateral movements, according to "business needs". If the management doesn't like you, you should better leave, there is not future for you here. -Free transportation comes with late-night shifts. And you are not even allowed to take a cab on you own, you must share with many people. And this perk is offered instead of meal tickets, a frequent benefit of most Cluj companies, one which you are forced to use because there are no means of transportation available at the unholy hours practiced by this company. -Last but not least, THE MANAGEMENT. That woman is a double-faced individual, aiming to keep in the company only the dim-witted eager to obey every of her orders. The toxic atmosphere existent inside the teams is generated by her lack of management ability, by her huge ego, inflated by those obedient seniors praising her non-existent merits due to their desire of preserving their benefits. She disregards completely that every individual has a life and will of their own, she is the red queen, screaming "off with her/his head" of every person willing to challenge the inequities existent in the company. I witnessed bright, full of potential people whose opinions were completely ignored just because Iulia didn't want her beliefs to be challenged in any way. Nobody is allowed to have a mind of one's own, or he/she will be fired or his/her life will become a living hell until they willingly resign.

Pros

Some team members are genuinely supportive and easy to collaborate with, though the overall experience can vary depending on the person.

Cons

Training has been the most inconsistent I’ve experienced in a corporate environment. Expectations are high, but the role itself changes frequently, often without clear communication or proper support. A recent reorganization shifted responsibilities and workloads, and it felt like it was used to delay or avoid well‑deserved raises and promotions across the team. Leadership has also increased micromanagement and plans to move toward a mandatory 2‑day in‑office schedule next year, which adds additional strain without improving collaboration.

At Yardi, we take pride in our transparent, kind, and respectful culture. Taking care of our employees is of the utmost importance and we work diligently to provide comprehensive training for one's role, a flexible hybrid work model (in which employees are asked to be onsite 1 day per week), and robust compensation and benefits packages. As part of our annual planning, we carefully review the goals for all of our teams and achievable goals are set based on an analysis of market conditions, while maintaining a competitive compensation plan. We genuinely encourage anyone who feels negatively impacted by something to schedule time with the VP of Human Resources to further discuss. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you were not a happier employe and wish you well going forward.
