Pros

#1 - The people. Quite simply, you're treated with respect, greeted by warm, smiling faces, and a comfortable work environment where you're free to be your authentic self. While this seems basic, many companies foster toxic habits, but Edmunds is quite the opposite. The rest (in no particular order) -Work/Life balance is so easy to achieve. They allow you the freedom to build your own work life. You're judged by results achieved and not hours worked or face-time. And they actually MEAN it. - Competitive pay: not the most important part of a job, but it sure doesn't hurt! - The office is AWESOME. We have a popcorn machine, arcade games, soda machines, fruit, snacks, lunch, nap pods, an open-seating area, and a coffee bar that puts most cafes to shame. There's also a gym and tons of restaurants and food trucks in our building. Super convenient - Challenging work and thoughtful managers. I'm constantly being asked what more I want to learn or get to work on. Feedback comes quickly so you rarely don't know where you stand. I feel CARED about here. - Accessible Executives. There are no offices, so our Execs are literally out in the open and actually approachable. I was actually introduced to the President during my interviews as he passed by. It speaks to the openness/transparency of the company culture. - This place loves to hear new ideas. Most companies hire you and then expect you to fall in line with how they do things, but Edmunds actively encourages you to bring your best practices and ideas to the company.

Cons

- Santa Monica/West Side traffic - We aren't a mega-corporation so you need to be thoughtful about your career progression and development. There isn't necessarily a prescribed ladder for you to climb. But if you drive your own career and take advantage of the many opportunities around you, staying here for the length of your career is more than possible

Pros

My experience here has been exceptional. The company offers a fantastic work-life balance, a supportive culture, and generous perks, all within a fully remote setup. The team is genuinely caring, and I've found ample opportunities for growth thanks to the ability to rotate teams. I initially planned to stay for a copule years before moving to a big tech company, but I've been so impressed that I've been here for many years and plan to stay longer.

Cons

Since the company operates on a nearly full-remote model, there are fewer opportunities for in-person socialization; however, the option to work from the office is always available for those who want to connect with colleagues. While the compensation is competitive and by no means low, it is important to note that it is less than what's offered by major tech companies, and no stock options are included as part of the compensation package.
