Pros

There are a lot of good people here. I'd argue intelligence level is at least above average. Generally people are helpful and friendly. The silly events (Summer Camp??) are silly but still fun. Base pay is competitive. A lot of executives seem to lack strategic/forward thinking, but thankfully Peter Steinlauf is still alive to kick some butts and to bring in new ideas.

Cons

Total comp is not competitive. While base pay is about market, they don't have a regular bonus program (only 5% this year) or equity. Generally that could be valued at around 20k annually for a senior engineer. Also a lot of executives lack strategic thinking (despite spending a lot of cash on consultants). Peter Steinlauf needs to light a fire under their butts. Other reviews complain that Peter is a negative but I'd argue he's the reason I still have faith in the company. If Peter goes away, I'd fear the management would be too complacent and it'll follow the fate of Blockbuster/Circuit City/Radioshack.

Pros

- Always advancing forward in using the latest technologies - Keeps up with market competitive salaries. - Work hours/location flexibility. - Everyone is always looking into everyday in how to grow Edmunds.com. - The majority seems to be happy which is reflected by the number of years they stay at Edmunds.com. (5-10 years)

Cons

I cannot think of many cons, since every growing company in a competitive industry would have the same issues including the context switching cost while shifting from idea to another even within a single project.

Pros

Edmunds is extremely receptive and responsive to employee feedback. They are a great company to work for.

Cons

If you are a person who is afraid to speak your mind, this might not be the place for you. There are lots of strong personalities and intelligent people and you need to be able to stand your ground to make sure you are heard. That being said, people will always listen.
