Pros

the experience at Emerald depends on which department and which senior leader you work for. While I enjoy my team, there are departments at Emerald which I would not recommend a friend to work in. Pay has gotten substantially better over the years because they started listening to employees and benefits have been great as well without added cost which I appreciate

Cons

Emerald used to have a flexible remote work environment which is now changing and people are being asked to come back in the office and sit on zoom calls instead of being able to work from home on zoom calls the in person office culture they are trying to build is impossible when you have clients and teammates working all over the country and need to be on calls to speak to them all day long

We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with your team, compensation progress, benefits, and initiatives like our work with Paradigm, and we appreciate your recognition of those efforts. We also understand your perspective on evolving workplace flexibility and the importance of trust and consistency across teams. Listening to employee feedback, continuing to invest in pay, and refining how we support flexible work remain important priorities for us.
