Pros

I don’t have a lot of pros but I did enjoy the benefits and hybrid work schedule.

Cons

My experience within the CDT department at Edelman Financial Engines has been discouraging. The leadership style in this area creates an environment that feels overly competitive and not supportive of employee development. There is a heavy emphasis on short-term numbers rather than long-term growth, and internal advancement opportunities within CDT have been limited. Decisions around lead distribution, team dynamics, and daily processes feel tightly controlled, which makes it difficult for employees to feel empowered or trusted. This approach has led to a culture where collaboration is strained and talented team members can feel overlooked. Edelman Financial Engines has strong potential as an organization, but the CDT department in particular would benefit from more transparent leadership, a greater focus on developing internal talent, and a healthier, more supportive team culture.
