Pros

- Employer-paid health insurance premiums - Profit sharing dropped into your 401k every March - Relative work-life balance compared to other companies - Great as a "fresh out of college" job for entry level tech experience (self-advertised by Yardi each year at sales conference and in internal meetings)

Cons

- Terrible CRM (over 40 years old, 5-10+ clicks to get anything done, custom/in-house made by the CEO in the 80s, frequently times out so any written work not manually saved after 15 minutes will be erased, constantly crashes for hours at a time and loses information in discoveries, demos, calls, etc) - Extreme micro-management of metrics that have absolutely nothing to do with actual closed sales (ex: manually connecting opportunities, the "qualification" check box that takes a minimum of 5 clicks to open per company) - Extremely low pay for the industry (both base pay and commissions) unless you are at an Enterprise or higher management level - Even if you are the #1 top selling rep, have 3+ years of tenure and company loyalty, you will NOT get a raise (even when you ask and provide data of being a top rep), will be passed up for open positions you apply to in favor of external hires, and will NOT be held to the same standard of past sales quotas and past fake metrics of those currently in management - Direct managers will turn a blind eye to those they are friends with - MAJOR company politics to learn, dance around, and suck up to if you have any chance for advancing your career

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.
