Pros

Good benefits. Unlimited PTO. No performance management if you want to take it easy and collect a paycheck

Cons

Unqualified leaders without experience are feeling their way in the dark as every problem is a new problem to them. Title inflation is REAL at SmartRent across the board. Sales, Engineering, Customer support, Product, you name it. There's a bunch of yes-people mismanaging the company thinking they can throw around their titles to coerce people into doing stuff they know isn't going to help.

Pros

Great benefits, flexible schedule, and like being able to work from home.

Cons

Company does not pay industry standards for certain departments and its unfortunate. I've often felt overlooked as a hardworking contributing employee with no room to grow anymore. As of recent, some departments say they don’t have enough money to spend for immediate need positions for assistance, but then they go ahead and hire more people outside of that need with large salaries who underperform. The company used to be so much fun to work for, but now it's getting too corporate and uninspiring.
