The worst experience of my 35+ year professional career. - Anonymous employee Edelman Financial Engines Employee Review

Pros

Initially it seemed to be a great company but a few months after starting I started to see some major red flags and breakdowns. This company is owned by a private equity firm. Multiple acquisitions in a short amount of time bringing together VERY diverse companies. The culture is ridiculously disjointed and contentious. Oh wait....these are the pros. They have food in the office and alcohol. The office was 5 minutes from my house.

Cons

This was, hands down, the WORST professional experience of my 35+ year career. If you want to join a company that has good, honest leadership, strong principles and clear direction this is NOT the company! Run away far and fast. If you have no other options...take your chances.
