Pros

The comp plan is decent but it changes all the time (3 times in 2013).

Cons

This is a California based company that wants to be like Google but they act like McDonalds. The brand is tired and stale and there are no plans to do any marketing. There is a giant disconnect from the home office and the sales force. You can not expect huge jumps in product placement if you raise the price 500%. When that doesn't work you "force" bundle the product; but what you don't understand is, nobody knows about the product! Edmunds is barely delivering on their existing products but there is an expectation to force the adoption of all the new products! The expectations for results is immediate and constant. The goals for revenue is daunting and the financial pressure for retention is severe. Fear and threats are common management tools, this comes from the top and filtered down to the "middle" managers. Turnover is extremely high at Edmunds. For every 1 person they convince to stay 3 people leave. Be careful if you are thinking about working here. Read all the reviews on Glassdoor, research the average tenure of sales people form Edmunds on LinkedIn. The sales side is completely different from the software side; a different world. It's strange to see a company where 1 year is considered "a long time".

Pros

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.
