Pros

Great office space. Great coworkers. Ample opportunity for growth. Company and community events are frequent - Bike build, community cleanups and many other fun events. Parent company provides a stipend that offsets ~80-100% of benefits costs. AI initiatives appear to focus on "Do more with the same workforce" rather than "Do the same with less workforce"

Cons

Pay is low for the market. Raises are non-existent outside of promotions. Actual health benefits are mediocre. 401k matching is capped at $5000. Growing pains due to massive engineering team growth leading to constant management structure shuffling and team rearrangement. Tech stack is playing catch up. "Documentation" for several integral components/workflows lives entirely in the head of 2 or 3 senior engineers.

Pros

-Great Salary. -Amazing benefits package through our parent company Alarm.com such as nearly 80-90% company paid health insurance. -Fantastic coworkers from diverse backgrounds. Everyone I have worked with here is genuinely a good human being and easy to get along with. I hate when people say it is like a family but I can't imagine working with a better group of people. You get to travel and experience new places but can also work remotely. The expectations are completely reasonable. Work life balance is good. Goals are achievable and there are growth opportunities in all departments. Management is down to earth and is great about getting the correct resources needed as well as offering guidance & support when there is doubt about the correct course of action. I have worked for plenty of employers where it feels like you're alone on an island when you need help and this is the complete polar opposite. This is simply a company you will be compensated well and feel like a valued member of your team, not just a number in some HR file. If I were a millionaire, I would be retired in the Bahamas as my dream job but in the interim I am happy to remain here for the rest of my career.

Cons

I don't have much to add here, only that sometimes it is like working in a hospital where you pause and go "Hmm, sure seems qui---" and then BAM, there are 5 metaphorical fires to put out that all come at once. Don't say quiet!
