They try to be a "Great Place to Work"

Pros

There are great people working at Edmunds. Smart and caring people. HR team is very nice and perks and company culture is great. Culture used to be a lot more flexible for people to work in ways that focuses on meeting results, not necessarily when and how it was done.

Cons

There seems to be some politics and senior management making some decisions that seems to miss what people on the front lines think would be good. But no company is perfect and Edmunds is not immune to some downsides.

Definitely not a great place to work

Pros

During the time I was working at Edmunds, they had some fun stuff around the office, free food, and some small perks here and there. At the time they also had pretty flexible hours and options to work from home. They were on the ROWE program. I heard instead of taking ROWE away, they recently rolled out ROWE 2.0, which from what I hear is about the same as no ROWE.

Cons

I was with Edmunds for a year and a half. During that time, I had 5 different managers, 2 different directors, and the commission structure changed 4 times. The company has no idea what they're doing and doesn't really care about their employees like they say they do. The annual "best place to work" survey is sent out by the company every year and they really push the employees to fill out positive surveys. That's the only reason why they get the "best place to work" award.

Pros

I came to work here because they were transparent, they were creative, they tried new things and usually admitted when they didn't work. They gave us freedom to be productive. We had an amazing work/life balance, the culture was great, managment seemed intelligent, the salary and benefits were outstanding. This was the type of company I had bee hoping to work for...FINALLY I was!

Cons

They are transparent when it's convenient, they don't fix the issues they currently have with product, instead they create new product which doesn't work either. They can't decide what the new focus should be on but it's not retention for the outside sales team. They no long admit when they are wrong. They don't do any traditional advertising but spend MILLIONS on Google, which isn't helping drive new traffic to their site. Dealers will say "I've never heard of you why would I give you any of my dollars" There are no plans in the works to adjust this way of thinking. Edmunds is 50+ years old and they are thinking like they are still in that time period of the publication days. Rumor is that there is another round of layoff's coming but I'm sure it will be just under that 10% mark in order to avoid red flags as it was in the first round.
