What a Great Company!

Pros

Edmunds is one of the few work places that offers ROWE (Results Oriented Work Environment), which provides employees with the flexibility to manage their own schedules and work hours. It offers us freedom, flexibility and convenience and leads to increased productivity.

Cons

If you don't like a lot of changes, and prefer a more stable environment, then Edmunds probably isn't the place for you. The company pivots frequently, but all with an eye on being the best Automotive website out there.

Pros

Beautiful Santa Monica offices, great employee perks, casual open space work atmosphere, very employee focused. Brilliant folks work here; the data they acquire and publish is excellent. Great opportunity to learn from intelligent staff. Strong project management, IT teams.

Cons

The exec leadership is quite pompous believing they are too smart to equally partner with other companies which has set Edmunds.com back. The company has burned alot of bridges in the automotive space. Edmunds.com has become a " decent" leads provider/ data source whereas they have potential to be the best of the best. Top heavy management; everyone is a Dir, Exec Dir or VP. Dealer programs /products not market competetive, product offerings are more hype than substance. Extensive turnover on direct sales teams affecting service, knowledge.

Pros

Excellent work/life balance with ROWE. For the most part there are mechanisms to hear out employee concerns at every level, so if there's anything that bothers you about your particular manager/director, it's not hard to be heard (although I don't sense that this is a common problem to begin with. In general, working here from day to day is fun and relatively low-stress. Also, if you do your job and play the game, above average compensation seems to follow.

Cons

Many question the direction of the company in a time that's been a bit turbulent. Traffic is on the decline and competitors with flat, streamlined website designs offer more ease-of-use for the same product. The difficulty seems to be that Edmunds relies heavily on advertising revenue for cash flow, but ads muck up the site and make navigation and page load times reminiscent of a decade ago. This is in direct conflict with the transition to becoming a car shopping website.
