A Sinking Ship - Editorial Specialist Edelman Financial Engines Employee Review

Pros

Some nice people and decent benefits.

Cons

This company is a sinking ship that's laying off people left and right, haphazardly cutting and rearranging departments. When they laid me off, I received, without warning, an EMAIL on a random Tuesday, letting me know they couldn't afford to keep me on. I called my direct supervisor — to get some explanation, or hell, even a sincere "goodbye" — and she didn't pick up my call. She didn't return my messages. After two years of working remotely for them, they GHOSTED me. No explanation, not even the courtesy saying "Goodbye," or "Thanks for your hard work." Stay away from this company.

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
