Pros

Great Santa Monica location, decent benefits, some intelligent underpaid middle managers that were fun to work with.

Cons

Far lower than average dot.com pay, ancient owner that is still living in a 70's/80's billboard state of mind influencing both the CEO (son) and COO (family consigliere), little understanding of why competitors are winning on a better value proposition and little action taken to rectify the situation, half baked initiatives that are incompetently pushed through by anointed (kiss ups not merit earned) senior management merely trying to justify their existence and even for them medicore pay. Edmunds reliance on pure A/B website metrics without taking into account simple exogenous variables such as competitor moves, natural weather disasters, regional sales trends was appallingly blind.

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.
