Edmunds.com Reviews

Pros

The heart of this company is so strong. I feel like the leaders really care about employee feedback and want to do everything they can to create a great place to work. I appreciate how transparent the leaders are and that they continue efforts to make sure we are all informed and feel connected to the company's goals - It creates such a strong momentum that is building. The people here are amazing!! I've never worked with such talented, dedicated individuals. I feel proud to call them my friends and colleagues! Lastly, I get to focus on interesting work -- I have grown professionally and personally more in my time here than at any other point in my career!

look to acquire or be acquired

Pros

Edmunds has been an amazing place to launch my career. I'm truly proud of the work I've done, how much I've grown, how much Edmunds has invested in me, and all of the talented people I work with.

The work life balance here is wonderful. I not only look forward to coming to work, but I love doing what I do and feel supported by my manager.

The office is stunning. While we have an open floor plan there are many private areas you can work in as well. Working from home is always an option too.

Compensation and benefits seem to be on par with other larger tech companies.

Pros

Great overall culture. Company truly does care about its customers and employees.

Advice to Management

Evolve / innovate/lead

Pros

Edmunds is one-of-a-kind place to work. Its pioneer spirit (i.e., the company basically started the 3rd party car shopping & buying industry 20 years ago) is still very much a driving force in how the company operates. Three reasons give Edmunds an edge:

- Product teams are hard at work continuously testing and innovating around the customer experience. This creates an enormous learning opportunity for junior and senior employees alike to own substantial part of the road map and experiment with ideas and concepts.

- As a privately owned company whose owners are actively involved in management, Edmunds gives employees direct access into how tough decisions are made and executed. This alone is a sizable learning opportunity for anyone considering applying to Edmunds.

- Edmunds has a strong culture based on optimism, camaraderie, and a belief in individual responsibility. The company expects hard work, but is also very generous with personal time to learn, relax, and re-charge (e.g., very flexible vacation policy + Thinking Thursdays with no meetings).

Advice to Management

Prioritize more and plan large product & business changes in a more timely manner to avoid a series of important changes happening all at the same time which may be distressing to more junior or less seasoned employees.

Make bolder decisions and more aggressive bets on the future. Reason out of where Edmunds must be 5 years from now, not from where Edmunds is today.

Pros

Flexible environment and get to learn new Technology.
Innovative and best Benefits.

Advice to Management

Be more transparent.

Pros

Despite some recent hiccups (like most companies experience) Edmunds is by far one of the best places to work. I have been with the company over 2 years now and can honestly say I have never worked for a company that sincerely offers work- life balance; with an extremely competitive pay plan; and a true intent to be innovative and aware of the constantly evolving industry.

Advice to Management

Stop changing your direction and focus every other month.

Pros

Edmunds is very well respected within the industry. I enjoy relaying the fact we are privately owned and operated and how that allows us to be in tune with our dealers ever changing needs and make adjustment to their program as needed. We have forged key relationships with Facebook and are first to push the transparency through shared data with key players such as CDK as well.
On a personal level , I work for the best leadership team , enjoy extensive benefits, am challenged by a creative training team , have flexibility in my schedule and feel valued as an important part of my teams success .

Advice to Management

Continue to trust your team. Continue the fail forward mentality and make changes quickly to ideas that are not successful . Keep your hand on the pulse of the dealer community . One on Ones ,Pulse surveys and all hand meetings are keeping us all engaged and in tune with our corporate goals and strategies.
