Pros

While there are undoubtedly significant issues with the company, not everything is entirely bleak. Some managers do show a genuine interest in their team's success and personal development. However, it's very much a gamble as to whether you'll land under the supervision of one of these rare individuals. Most often, the overall atmosphere is marked by low morale, a sentiment echoed across various departments. The sporadic presence of competent leadership does little to uplift the spirit of the team, as it's overshadowed by widespread dissatisfaction and disconnection from upper management. In essence, the potentially positive aspects of working here become overshadowed by an overwhelming sense of uncertainty and a generally negative environment.

Cons

Working at Yardi Systems has unfortunately been a very disappointing experience, one that has left me struggling to find new employment and feeling extremely frustrated. The most glaring issue here is the management, or rather, the lack of proper management. From day one, I noticed a severe lack of communication, direction, and support. My concerns and questions were regularly brushed aside or ignored altogether. The hierarchical structure seemed disconnected from the realities of daily tasks, leading to an environment where it's almost impossible to thrive or grow. The attitude towards employee development is lackluster at best. There's an absence of guidance or any investment in training, which left me feeling stagnant in my role. Opportunities for growth or even constructive feedback were rare, and it often felt as though the management was more interested in maintaining the status quo rather than fostering an environment of continuous learning. As I began to search for new opportunities, I quickly realized that the reputation of the company has unfortunately followed me. Potential employers seem hesitant to hire someone with Yardi Systems on their resume, and I can't help but feel that my time here has negatively impacted my career prospects. In short, I would strongly advise anyone considering a position at Yardi Systems to think twice. The culture of poor management and lack of employee growth has not only marred my experience with the company but has also hindered my ability to move forward in my career. The promise of a fulfilling role quickly faded into the reality of a frustrating and demoralizing experience, one I hope others can avoid.

Your experience is vastly different than what we hear from our talented Software Engineers in the Yardi Oxnard location and our worldwide offices. At Yardi, we care deeply about our employees and believe in coaching and mentoring so that each employee is supported in their role. We know the importance of employee development and offer extensive training as well as opportunities for growth within the company (with perks such as our Tuition Reimbursement Program that enables employees to learn new skills and further develop as professionals). We believe in promoting from within and all advancement opportunities within the company are based solely on proven performance metrics and strong subject matter knowledge. We encourage employees to regularly connect with their managers and to let leadership know when additional support or guidance is needed with prioritizing and navigating deliverables. We take pride in our caring, respectful, and inclusive culture and genuinely encourage anyone who feels negatively impacted to schedule time with the VP of Human Resources to further discuss.

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.
