Pros
Lots of pros to working here: competitive salary, very transparent company and executive team, ROWE, brilliant colleagues...I could go on. One of my favorite things about Edmunds is that it has a startup feel while having actually been around for decades. It creates an environment where you are both comfortable in the company's goals and direction, but also able to work at a fast-paced, engaging and exciting pace. It's been a great place to start my career and I look forward to spending much more time here.
Cons
Within my own department I occasionally feel like there's a lack of investment in my personal growth. I've had talks with my manager and colleagues about where I want to be in 3-6 months (with pretty humble goals) and haven't received much support. That said, there are still moments when I'll be given tasks more geared to what I'm specifically interested in - it feels as if it depends on how busy managers and higher up's are with their own growth and development and how much time they're willing to invest in the more green employees like myself. Also, a drawback of being at a company that's been around for a while - some of the tasks I get assigned feel somewhat archaic and could really be simplified/eliminated as they're not really practical in this day and age. The amount of time it's taken to go from storing information on paper to doing it electronically (that's safe to do so), for instance has been a crawl. Old habits can die hard here sometimes...
