Edelman Financial Engines reviews

FE has a wonderful balance of academic theory and real life application. It's wonderful to have a job in finance where you know the organization is really trying to help people (small or big account). You can sleep well at night. There are high standards here, great managers, top management is really accessible, incredible work life balance, and you don't have to wear a suit to work. The work is engaging and the culture is just plain happy. No big egos here. FE is the best place to work at.

The employees are fantastic people. It's always nice to work with people you get along with, but there's something even cooler about my co-workers. I've spent time at both of the big offices, Richmond and Fairfax, after beginning my time at one of the satellite branches in Northern VA. Aside from the people being great, the company treats it's employees very well - benefits are above average, salary is higher than most other brokerage firms, and the understanding Edelman has about its employees' personal lives is one I wish all companies would adapt. Very family-oriented atmosphere. I think Ric has done a wonderful job creating a culture that is fun to work in, but also one that has clear goals for advancement and growth.
