Pros

Eddy used to be an amazing place to work. Now the only pros I can think of are free lunches and a few good people who for some reason are still here.

Cons

Senior leaderships, especially the CEO, have an erratic management style that creates distrust, fear, and burnout. Some of our most competent leaders were fired because of internal politics. Then layoffs happened. Then many remaining top performers left. Then layoffs happened again, and continued sporadically with little communication. Most employees are looking for jobs elsewhere.

I appreciate you making the effort to share your feedback and thoughts with us. I want to acknowledge that it's not easy as a leader to get everything right, especially when a company is growing very quickly at the same time. I really value your feedback. I think there are some areas I disagree with you on, and other areas that I think you are absolutely right in pointing out. There will come a day when I will step aside. I do spend 6 days a week on Eddy. It has been incredibly hard to build but very rewarding. I have a lot to learn but I am trying everyday to be better. Thank you for taking the time to share feedback. - Travis Hansen, CEO

Pros

Nice office space, flexible work schedule, good benefits and generous contribution from the employer for health.

Cons

Promises made and promises broken over and over at Eddy. 2023 was the year of several major reductions in force at Eddy. They would hire people from long term careers at great companies and then let terminate them with "heavy hearts" time and time again. My role changed from the time I was recruited and hired two weeks after I was brought on. They just kept saying it would go back to the role I was hired for and to hang in there and make it work. 9 months later, they tried to change my role and title an pay to the other role which came with a 50% decrease in pay. So I left. The CEO said he wanted to make thing right by me and then made no efforts to do so. There is a serious lack of leadership at the top of this company.
