Vantaggi

For the most part, great folks to work with. Just about everyone in support is easy to get along with. Office is nice, well decorated and has some great amenities. Company values are great, when they are adhered to.

Svantaggi

While this used to be a fantastic place to work (my previous rating was 5 stars) it is going downhill quickly. What used to be an exciting and innovative work environment has become more and more like the cog-in-the-machine call centers that we came here to get away from. Ever since the company went public, the conditions have deteriorated. There is no longer concern for employees or customers - only the bottom line. We are understaffed but continue to layoff/fire people without replacing them. Part of the operations have also been sent overseas, an easy way to cut costs and probably why they're not hiring much in Minnesota anymore. Pay has stagnated, a big part of why I left. Pay was always a little below market average, but made up for by benefits and work conditions. Pay has continued to drop, and conditions deteriorated, which prompted me to move on. Little to no growth available to those who remain.

Vantaggi

The people there are great. Everyone I met was very personable and very fun to talk to and work with. Office events are actually fun and not a chore. No pressure, and overall a very relaxed environment. You can get your work done on your time (for the most part), and the work-live balance is great. I've heard that the pay for full-time SWEs is below average, but IMO that's an exaggeration. The pay for interns is very good. I've found that many SWE internships in Kansas only pay ~$15 an hour, but Alarm.com paid more than double of that. They also paid all-expense for me to fly out to their HQ in D.C. twice.

Svantaggi

The codebase is pretty confusing at times, and there aren't many clear places to wrap your full head around it. That might've just been because I was an intern and didn't go through the "full" training, but I digress. They began implementing an "AI-first" approach during my time there, which did worry me a bit. However, they're not a company I'd expect to make mass layoffs (nor have they ever had mass-layoffs before for SWEs).
