Company is growing, but your career won't - Anonymous employee Yardi Systems Employee Review

This was an OK company to work at, but after a few months I knew I wouldn’t be here long. It’s definitely laid back and you will not end up with a demanding work load. I told my boss on a number of occasions that I didn’t really have anything to do and it took me a while to get that they just don’t care about challenging employees. Which leads me to the next thing which plenty of reviewers stated: there is absolutely ZERO growth. No matter how good or bad you are, no movement. Unless you are the 0.05 percent that a) started working there in the 90’s or b) somehow became a VPs favorite. Favoritism was rampant in sales. Positions and promotions given to a very select few and the same were not given to everyone. Very clique-y. The small handful of upper management are nice, but they are the sole decision makers for the company and are traveling all the time and/or out of touch with daily operations in each dept. I knew I had to leave when the results of the 1st company survey were being presented by the CEO and he said all of the negative or critical reviews were from disgruntled employees. I think a lot of the fresh out of college hires think they have a super cool culture b/c they have never worked anywhere else. Once they hit mid to late 20s they leave. This place is a sea of cubicles and their idea of a fun activity is sitting in a circle in a big room and eating a catered lunch for everyone’s birthdays and forcing people to tell stories. The pay is way too low for how profitable this company is and the location in SB.
