Lack of Coordination, Old School Club with Untrained Executives - Anonymous employee Edelman Financial Engines Employee Review

Pros

Some new networks, but overall the place is in turmoil.

Cons

Total silo-ed old boys club, with a lot of unqualified senior managers and md's, some of whom recently hail from similar outfits, where they were famous for chaos and abuse, and just in it all for the party. If you have the same school behind you as earlier leaders, and especially if you have some sort of charm or foreign accent, you're pretty much given the keys to the kingdom, and allowed to keep the ship going down. A very unfair, unprofessional place.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
