Pros

Health insurance paid 100% is the only pro of working here.

Cons

Basically every aspect of employment here is a negative. The partners are stretched too thin to really hear (or care) about your voiced concerns. Nothing gets done to mitigate the negative climate of most clients either. You are left to sink or swim, all while being paid significantly under the market rate for your position. It's honestly perplexing that they are able to enlist talent at any level given the poor compensation. Technology is extremely outdated to the point of dysfunction. You will be using outdated systems, programs, and equipment, while outsourcing the work to separate work "departments" within the organization. No, this does not streamline the work in any way. It makes the overall process more time intensive and cumbersome, and is entirely needless. Leadership is apathetic at best, and completely naive to the workflow and workload of their employees. This job will forever be the worst employment experience of my career, and one I'll certainly never forget. If you want to be undervalued, underpaid, and maximally stressed, then work here. Otherwise, take heed of these reviews and high tail away from this place!

Pros

EDI employs staff to work directly with medical/research non-profits, giving employees the incredible opportunity to help its clients realize their vision. Culture is very supportive - EDI supports professional development and membership in related organizations for its employees to help them continually grow and say on top of trends. They provide pathways for staff to be promoted and grow within the company. They offer a variety of opportunities from meetings logistics to committee management to meeting planning to medical writing and more. I've worked there for over 15 years and have had an incredible experience with the company as well as with the volunteers we serve.

Cons

No cons currently. Over the last 15+ years that I've been here, EDI has worked hard to support employees and respond to suggestions for improvement. For example, most positions are able to work remotely up to 3 days a week. EDI is also continuously updating technologies and systems to allow staff to efficiently do their work.
