Pros

Boring monotonous work Some clients make me want to jump off a bridge Easy to jump ship and double your salary doing the same thing

Cons

Pay is low for the cost of living Other companies pay much higher doing the same work High turnover as a lot of people want out after only a few months and move to much higher paying positions, those who stay longer are usually really sad people with very little drive are complacent with being average forever. Those who have drive typically jump ship after a few months or a year and double their salary at similar companies. Sometimes it's pretty much like working at a call center. Help people change their passwords because they forgot. Except most if not all have a college degree and could probably be doing something better. The product is very buggy and that's why most people work in support since things are always breaking Our back end team is in India and have high turn-around because the pay isn't good.

Readers of the Yardi Glassdoor reviews will recognize that your experience at Yardi is quite different from that of other employees who have posted. Many employees have discovered there are lots of opportunities for growth. Over 600 employees (10%) have been with Yardi for 10+ years and continue to move up. 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. Best of luck in the future!

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.
