Working at Edmunds.com in Santa Monica, CA: 17 Employee Reviews

IT Manager

"I have been working at Edmunds for over 5 years. Through Edmunds, I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and have been able to get my hands on a ton of technology. I love my job, my team, and what I am challenged on a regular basis. I feel that the company has be stagnant for the better part of two years and my growth as a manager has slowed. Edmunds provides great perks to it's employees and competitive salary but they have been lacking in transparency, direction, and what the future holds in store."

Edmunds.com Employee

"When I worked for Edmunds, they had a pretty extensive buddy buddy system. A lot of weight is put on who you know. The pay is great, but they have a lack of good leadership: people who know how to nurture talent and lead. As long as you make the right connections you'll be fine, otherwise you will be relegated to abysmal tasks."
