Pros

If you had asked me before Oct 17, the people and the perks. It made a boring (yet stressful) job with not the greatest pay manageable.

Cons

On Oct 17, 58 people were laid off. I was one of them. This was a few months after I had received a raise and praise from my supervisor. I was told to meet with the CTO and the woman from HR who coolly informed me of their decision. I had worked here for 3 years. Worked hard too. And I was given 30 minutes to exit the building. My supervisor had no say in this. Apparently neither did the supervisor's supervisor. I learned after that, while the people who stayed were still in shock, many perks were taken away. So not only do the people who were not laid off now have to shoulder the work of their teammates, now they don't even get the good stuff anymore. Good job Edmunds.

Disappointing...

Pros

The way our culture USED to be.

Cons

I thought Edmunds was a company I could trust and would take care of their employees. Given the way the mass layoffs went down, they have no respect for employees that have been here for more than 10 years who had nothing to do to lead us to even have the layoffs in the first place. The people who got us to this place should be responsible. Poorly executed lay off - now morale will stay low and people will slowly start jumping ship.

Pros

I get to work with an amazing team of some of the most talented, hard-working people, who are, ironically, mostly full-time off-site workers. Some recent hires with fresh perspectives, who have influence over design of our consumer-facing products, gives me hope for the future. Benefits are above average, even with the changes to ROWE.

Cons

If you have to teach consumers how to use your website to access the most basic features - and we do - you've done website design totally wrong. We consistently decide what WE want the website to be, and then expect users to conform to our wants and needs. The president told us at the beginning of the year to "ignore the haters." Let that sink in. Ignore criticism from the users of our website. We have glitchy, buggy, and difficult-to-use products all over the website. Attempting to get these fixed or altered to be consumer-friendly results in a, "sorry, no resources for that," answer almost every time. It's disrespectful to our consumers. The elephant in the room - the layoffs. It's understandable that companies go through swings and need to make adjustments. What is entirely puzzling, and contributing to the lack of morale, is that plenty of good people, who bore no responsibility for decisions that led to our current state, were let go, while those who made and championed the poor decisions are still here... and further, are in leadership positions that will determine our future direction. That is beyond discouraging. We hear a lot about accountability, but there's been very little of that relative to our recent failures.
