Pros

Great staff. You'll meet a lot of fantastic folks and have some crazy/funny stories to share at the dinner table about the owner.

Cons

The owner is pathetic. She can't hold onto good employees. Throw out any notions that you will have about an orderly workplace. It's basically a feudal enterprise run by a dictator who seems to make decisions based on her mood that day without any thought or strategic planning or what time of day (normally after 4:00) she decides to come in the office. She belittles and talks down to people like they are a piece of trash under a bridge, She lacks basic leadership skills, nothing is ever her fault, and takes no accountability for her actions or the way that she or a certain member on her Executive staff treats people. Additionally, if she doesn't like you, everyone in the office will know because she will tell them. She has no idea of what company confidentiality is and how to keep her mouth closed when it relates to personnel matters. It’s useless to go to HR or any other member of the leadership team because they’re all weak, afraid and need a paycheck.

Edifice appreciates that every employee has unique experiences while working at a firm and that in periods of transition, it can be hard to understand the decision-making process and underlying structure. We are confident that all changes we make are given thorough consideration by our executive team, with input from our current employees. As Edifice continues to grow in to new market areas and geographic regions we are working closely as a team to redefine our corporate processes and structure meet these exciting challenges.

Pros

Great potential on fast paced, interesting projects. This could be a great small company.

Cons

People, no matter how talented, do not last long here with a year being about average. Several consultants and clients are open about the fact that they keep lists of how many people rotate in and out of projects and the Owner has on occasion joked about the short tenure she expects from new hires. Unfortunately the Owner alienates both clients and staff with arbitrary and unfair approaches to the work. She always believes that she is right and would rather replace those who thoughtfully and intelligently disagree or see better ways to do things than listen. If she does not fire a person outright she makes life unbearable for them by undermining their authority with project teams and clients, publicly insulting and belittling them, and inappropriately and unfairly blaming them for issues over which they have no control until they quit. Few can take this for long.

Thank you for providing your unique perspective regarding our company. We strive to hire the best individuals for each position, and sometimes, this means those who are not a good fit are let go as soon as it is apparent that they will create a negative work environment. While you may perceive this to be excessive turnover, we are working to create the cohesive, family-oriented team we are known for, which is highlighted in several additional reviews on this website. We would welcome any further information to help us uncover the situation you have alluded to so that we can make informed decisions moving forward.
