Terrible culture; Nowhere to go - Product Management Edmunds.com Employee Review

Bad place to work if you're not in the 'tribe' ... full of people who've been there for years just riding the wave ... everyone else is a minion and is treated as such. Seniority is rewarded more than merit. Suffers from title inflation. If you're a Director here, you're really doing Manager work. Executive Directors are more like Sr. Managers. VPs are more like Directors. That's how they are able to hire and keep folks, especially in this economy -- title & salary inflation. Tons of bloat, churn, busy-body work, overhead, bureaurocracy, ridiculously detailed tracking of even the most mundane tasks, convoluted technical environment(s) that make launching anything quickly and productively nearly impossible. Clings to what the Internet was and how it worked in 1998 ... very slow to embrace new technologies and platforms. If the curtain could be pulled back on this enterprise, competitors would laugh, then shudder in disbelief. Tries to claim to be an "Agile" environment, but really it's just waterfall in sheep's clothing with a lot of busy work attached. The reason people never leave is they are ill equipped to handle a position out of Edmunds. A lot of how Edmunds works is only applicable at Edmunds. You are not marketable after leaving their archaic set-up. Micromanagement at every level -- most bizarre thing I've ever seen.
