Edmunds.com Reviews

Pros

Progressive work environment unafraid to challenge archaic Industrial era management practices, strong culture with coherent values and norms (they practice what they preach), a company that exemplifies the attitude that how you treat your employees will be reflected in their work product (treat them better, they'll produce better outcomes for the company)

Advice to Management

Rally the company behind the imminent paradigm shift in the automotive sector (e.g. autonomous vehicles, ride sharing, etc.) and articulate a clearer vision for the role that will we play in effecting that change so our collective efforts might be imbued with great significance and purpose

Pros

Everyone I work with are really smart and nice people. Everyone is eager to collaborate and help each other out. This has a lot to do with how we are treated and all the freedoms we have. This is the only place I've worked that really does put their employees first and back it up on a daily basis.

Advice to Management

keep it up!

Pros

product value is great need more confidence in presentation

Advice to Management

Get rid of the management clicks. You have to much churn in your field staff that works hard to produce revenue.

Pros

High Base Salary for mediocre sales people. Kick the can down the road mentality...just don't let the can stop at YOU. If you are in the CLUB, your job is safe even if you don't work.

Advice to Management

Get rid of your lazy abusive managers. When the managers are to friendly with your HR department ...much gets overlooked and turned around on the person that has reached out for help. You have lost several hard working loyal sales people who have come directly to owners and HR only for them to be slapped in the face and retaliated against.

Pros

Free food , fun office , lots of holidays , decent benefit package , some work at home allowed .

Advice to Management

Stop trying to be a lead generator and give up . No one looks to Edmunds to buy a car .

Pros

Edmunds has done a great job in the last 2 years at cultivating a corporate culture much like of many start-up companies, like Google, Facebook, etc. There is a lot of freedom, employee collaboration and the Employee Experience Team advocates innovative ideas that bring people together in inspiring ways. Some examples are “Thinking Thursdays” and Design Thinking Workshops, they offer creative outlets, like painting classes and iGnite. They also promote annual Hackomotive-thons and company get togethers, like “Summer Camp”. I learned a great deal about collaborating successfully, leveraging concepts and philosophies to successfully launch products, and better understand methodologies around the agile space – all which I believe helped further my experience in Product Management.

Advice to Management

Management needs to seriously evaluate what it takes to create strong relationships with the employees and teams, how they can be more honest with candid feedback to help employees achieve their potential, and truly think how they can be a leader in the industry.

Pros

If you're looking to get into politics this is a great place to start. There are a lot of great people here but middle and upper management is the most rediculous group of fakers I've ever come across.

Advice to Management

Advice is pretty useless and would fall on deaf ears. Middle and upper management are all drinking the same kool-aid. One thing though...if you're going to threaten every employee after separation like you have been doing for the last 12+ months, find a better way to go about it then sending an email that was the equivalent of me calling my 8 year old a paralegal and having her write it.

Pros

I have been here for less than 4 months. So far my experience has been quite positive. My colleagues are always open to new ideas and trying new things. I work in the digital marketing space. I feel that the work we do is cutting edge. We work with a wide variety of advertising platforms and have a very data-oriented approach to marketing. There isn't much bureaucracy, most people are quite approachable. If you like working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment then this is the place to be. Other pros are the Results only work environment and the really cool office space/décor and location.

Pros

There is a lot of flexibility in terms of hours, AMs have the ability to work remote. Unlimited sick and vacation days. Brand new office with plenty of perks.

Pros

Location, location, people. Southern california, particularly SM is a great place to work. Super smart management team.

Advice to Management

Find a way to incentivize employees to stay. Base salary is competitive, bonuses are not
