Pros
Great benefits, great work/life balance, friendly culture, great perks within the office like fruit every day, great coffee and bagels on Fridays.
Cons
Management plays favoritism. If you are not on the favorites list, you will be stuck in the same job for a very long time and be passed over for other opportunities as well as pretty much ignored and not helped.

Thank you for the review. We are pleased to hear how much you liked all the great employee benefits and perks, such as those you mentioned and others such as TripCa$h and FitCa$h. Overall, employee health and well being are highly valued, so vacation reimbursement, fitness reimbursement and healthy food in the office are just some of the ways Edmunds hopes to encourage taking care of one’s mind and body.
Meritocracy in promotion decisions is something we take seriously. We’ve put some new practices in place over the past year. We’ve established clear and objective criteria to help inform promotion decisions and have also published all promotion decisions and the rationale to all employees to increase transparency to these decisions. We continue to look for ways to improve decision making and communication. We also encourage our employees to continue conversations about personal career development opportunities.
My experience here has been exceptional. The company offers a fantastic work-life balance, a supportive culture, and generous perks, all within a fully remote setup. The team is genuinely caring, and I've found ample opportunities for growth thanks to the ability to rotate teams. I initially planned to stay for a copule years before moving to a big tech company, but I've been so impressed that I've been here for many years and plan to stay longer.
Cons
Since the company operates on a nearly full-remote model, there are fewer opportunities for in-person socialization; however, the option to work from the office is always available for those who want to connect with colleagues. While the compensation is competitive and by no means low, it is important to note that it is less than what's offered by major tech companies, and no stock options are included as part of the compensation package.
