Pros

Pay is pretty decent, the software is very good, but aside from the intuitive software overall the product is hardware based... and a security camera think ADT.. most companies here a camera company calling and it’s all outsourced and trusted to ppl who install cameras as a profession.. security integrators. Also your competition in a lot of cases.. Some of the parties have been cool but let’s be honest.. A lot of unethical behaviors from people at the director level

Cons

Inexperienced management team, rarely offers constructive feedback to processes.. some very poorly ran 1 on 1s.. Fratty culture, it’s no surprise, the most concerning is the amount of feedback concerning the HR violations around harassment of female employees.. someone below alluded to screenshots of females being shared amongst leaders in this company.. same people diving into your pipeline on deals were diving into slack harassing and sharing inappropriate photos to the boys club, executives addressed this by saying its unacceptable but didn’t let go of anyone... lol what? I think most women probably feel uncomfortable here, some fit in and have just turned a blind eye to some of the gross things happening. These violations could be career ending for someone in leadership so I hope they understand how privileged they are... a lot of San Ramon and Danville football background, their former mentor coach Kessler was let go years back so it’s not surprising me anymore seeing how unethical the leadership team could be, their former role model... they’ve posted pics of in the bathrooms at HQ couldn’t keep his leadership role.. There are a select few that are solid, but they will always be drinking beers in their social circle come end of the week. We once had over 137 ppl like a question in an all hands about the HR violations and leadership totally ignored the question.. that was over a third of the company silenced...

Pros

Great product and vision of where company will go.

Cons

***Please note I was a recruiter in the past and I would mention to candidates that negative reviews were only from bottom performers. This is not the case. Top performers are leaving the company at a rapid rate for a reason. *Don’t bother providing references. They will back door you and reach out to someone you didn’t list as a reference. This happens to every candidate. *Constant drug use and drinking. *Count down clocks installed in every office to time people during the mandatory call blocks. *Management making fun of new employees behind their back and creating a toxic environment. *DOUBLE CHECK THE NUMBERS THEY PRESENT TO YOU DURING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS. ATX office missed our quota for almost an entire year before our quota was reduced significantly the past quarter after the Regional Director was fired. Multiple employees had false information presented to them during the interview process.

Pros

Free lunch, great product, fast moving engineering team

Cons

- Managers are inexperienced. They don't give you any feedback, they take over your deals (not always for the better), and they micro manage. Their focus is their success, not yours. - Hiring too quickly - Zero job security and you are constantly threatened with a performance plan - Frat boy culture - HR violations against women not taken seriously and leaders fail to acknowledge problem - You are treated like a number - Expect to spend your entire day cold calling
