Pros

Nice discounts in Santa Barbara (movies, phone bill, etc). Monday through Friday hours are nice. Occasionally able to leave early on holidays.

Cons

Middle management does not consider any employee input. No free snacks except occasionally fresh fruit. Poor coffee. Nepotism (my manager grew up with Gordon). No professional development on my team despite frequent meetings with my manager. Poor communication between middle managers and upper management resulting in a trickle down confusion for the team. No central repository for internal documentation. All updates to processes are sitting in an email inbox someplace. Makes learning a challenge. Antiquated software. Lack of ergonomic workspaces without a doctor's note. That should be standard. Pay is low and not competitive. My team makes you commit to a set duration band promises promotional opportunities then does not follow through. No work from home opportunities or flex time. Managers micro manage timesheets.

Being “sales adjacent” you must have tried our new coffee machines which were installed last week! Employees spoke on Glassdoor and we’re listening, but changes do take time. That being said, it sounds like you are frustrated and unsure how to move forward in your position. There are many opportunities for advancement in the company once someone has mastered their subject matter. You may want to consider signing up for online e-learning classes or Tuition Reimbursement to help add to your ‘current tool belt of skills.’ We encourage you to speak with your manager about your interest in growing with the company and HR’s door is open if you want to discuss any concerns. We would also like to address your comment about nepotism. While we consider ourselves to be family-oriented, no one in this company has ever been hired on that basis. We have many couples working here, brothers, sisters, even parents and their children. But everyone hired here goes through the same screening process and is hired based on merit, not on contacts. Thank you for leaving a review and hoping things feel better for you soon.

Pros

If I were asked pros of this company in 2020 I would fill this entire space. Since COVID the company culture completely changed toward the negative. They have good affordable health and dental insurance. You get to leave 2 hours early on the day before a holiday. They will provide lunch in office once a week. You get to work a hybrid WFH schedule. They invest in your 401k whether you contribute or not.

Cons

Their pay is below market. I was a TAM and could have made $20k more per year with another company but wanted to stay with yardi because they weren’t publicly traded and were more stable. The culture became more stressful and toxic after covid. Yardi began a partnership with wework (see Hulu documentary) and then wework went belly up which yardi had to bail them out of. As a result yardi spent millions of dollars. To offset this terrible decision, Yardi started quietly firing people within the company. Basically, they were eliminating “overhead” without calling it layoffs because the word layoff scares clients and they’ll start looking for another software to use.

We truly care about your feedback and appreciate hearing from you though some of your experiences and observations are vastly different from what we hear from our talented Technical Account Managers worldwide. Regarding the 2022 WeWork partnership, Our CEO has a proven track record for making strong business decisions that result in continued growth and success for the company, and we were thrilled to debut a new space management solution through our ‘WeWork Workplace’ partnership which solves for a dynamic, constantly evolving future of work. We are proud to share that we have not participated in any company layoffs and have added serval thousand employees to the company in the past several years as we continue to grow. We take pride in our caring, respectful, and transparent culture and genuinely encourage anyone who feels negatively impacted by something to schedule time with the VP of Human Resources to further discuss. While we are sorry you weren’t a happier employee, we genuinely wish you all the best going forward.
