Pros

- Good work-life balance - Friendly coworkers - Decent benefits - Great first job off college

Cons

Low pay, you can get 20-30% better pay from a similar position in-town. Zero quality and standard, management does not value quality and only cares about how fast you get things done. Most new hires just start coding without any training or review. For issues or even to add new features, they do patch work rather than properly engineering and architecting the solution. They will jump right into adding a new feature on a short notice based on a client's demand but comes back and spend more time because the solution was not properly planned out. This is the culture of the entire company and not specific to a particular team. Uninspiring work, do not expect cutting edge technology here. Just take a look at their software, it's like a flashback to the early 2000s. Management prefers cheap labor fresh off college/from India. High turn over rate among talented developers. Out of touch management, they are out with clients most of the time and rarely in the office listening to their employees. Feedback from employees is not valued. Oppressive work environment.

Readers of the Yardi Glassdoor reviews will recognize that your experience at Yardi is quite different from that of other employees who have posted from the Santa Barbara office. All of our salaries are benchmarked against national norms and our wonderful benefits include 100% paid health care premium, a FSA plan, 401k, profit sharing, vacation condos, tuition reimbursement, paid parental leave, great discounts to a variety of places both near and far, and more! In our interactions with each other, our customers, and within our community we are guided by core Yardi values. It is these values that have shaped this company and enabled us to continue providing quality software and unwavering customer focus. Our corporate motto is to take care of our clients, take care of our employees, stay focused and grow. Without the hard work of our wonderful employees we would not have the success we have today. We truly value every employees’ comments and concerns and encourage you to reach out to the VP of HR to discuss your concerns with management.

Pros

Great employees, good benefits, nice facility.

Cons

The starting pay is low. You are told in your interview that YARDI always hires from within and that chances for raises and promotion are plentiful. This is simply not true. In my time here I have seen several supervisors hired from outside the organization which leads to employees having to train their new supervisor. Reviews come annually in March and the process is a joke. The raises for Implementation were 2% across the board with a few exceptions. This is unacceptable considering our most senior implementers have all left and we are expected to absorb their workload. And that leads to the next disappointment - the hiring freeze. There is currently a hiring freeze for the entire Colorado Springs office, so even though we continue to lose employees weekly they are not replacing them. Next is our wonderful production team in Pune, India. They are not properly trained so to "fix" this problem management is insisting we do error cases every time there is a mistake. I'm sure you can imagine how this has completely destroyed any semblance of a pleasant working relationship. Get ready to wait days for tasks you assigned to be completed and while you wait you will be bombarded with the same questions over and over and over and over again. The last real negative area here is upper management, specifically those from ISTA. The processes they are implementing do not work and it is clear to everyone working here that they are getting rid of all the Yardi employees to replace with their ISTA friends. Shouldn't it be the other way around in a takeover? We took over ISTA, not the other way around.

We are aware that there have been issues in our Colorado Springs office. We are listening, and your feedback is important and valuable. Acquisitions always require patience and transition time. As our ista clients migrate to a single platform, we anticipate some of the concerns you raised in your review will resolve. As with most companies, pay increases are determined individually based on job performance. We appreciate all of the efforts of our Colorado Springs staff to work through these challenges and move on to smoother days ahead.

Pros

Health insurance benefits, flex spending accounts, relaxed dress code, major holidays off. Fun office events (to try and boost moral).

Cons

The moral at the Colorado Springs Office is at an all time low. It started about a year and a half ago, when new management came in and we started out sourcing all work to Pune India. Since then we have lost knowledgeable, hard working employees.....and clients. A lot of clients. The worst part, when employees leave we have no training system to support new employees. The extra work and training falls on the already stretched thin employees. Not to mention, they higher supervisors from outside the company....guess who gets to train the new supervisors?? The employees working under them. The ones already stressed, over worked, and getting paid a whole lot less. The answer to every problem with the software is an "upgrade" or new plug in, which the majority of the time breaks 10 other things while fixing 2. Development is not held to a high standard, if any.
