Edelman Financial Engines reviews

Edelman has been nothing but a positive experience for me having been here for over five years. They've given me the opportunity to learn many facets of the RIA business, which is very different than my previous experience at a larger firm, where I had a very specific job function, and little exposure to departments outside of my own. They cultivate an environment where I feel comfortable approaching just about anyone- regardless of his or her title- with questions or advice. It's very much a roll up your sleeves and dive in environment, so if you are of the "it's not my job" mindset, then it's probably not the place for you. I've worked hard, asked questions, and taken on the challenges I've been given even if they are a little outside of my normal role, and have been rewarded for doing so. I am not in the home office, but with our many means of communication, I have been able to build strong relationships throughout the firm and across many departments.

Edelman spends a lot of time and energy maintaining its family culture which goes a long way. There is great support for both personal and professional growth without being fake or contrived. Compared to other firms I've worked for the atmosphere is not stressful. Great pay and benefits. Major commitment to educating clients and outstanding client service. Generous benefits and time off policies from day one.
