Pros

The most significant "pro" is free insurance. There are a few great people working in middle management, but they are quickly being weeded out.

Cons

Yardi has become a fairly miserable place to work. The pay is so low that the majority of the people who are qualified and good at their jobs have either left or are looking for any opportunity to get out. Because some critical departments are so understaffed, instead of hiring more people and getting things stabilized, upper management decided to re-structure my team increasing the workload and placing over half of the people with a manager that had no experience or knowledge about their subordinates' job and responsibilities. Upper management does not seem to place any value on the recommendations of middle management, so decisions are made without consideration of the specific factors in play. My particular office also had a serious problem with nepotism and employee referrals. It got a few good people working there and a whole lot more with horrible work ethics or who were flat out incapable of performing the duties of an entry level job. By the end of the time I worked at the company, I spent over half of my time either correcting the mistakes of people management had instructed to do all of the "grunt work" or try to explain the problem and train the people actually doing the work. The company has a policy of outsourcing everything that they can to Pune, India and Cluj, Romania. I don't have an issue with that per se, but the plan is to outsource everything without providing anyone with proper training.

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.
