Pluspunten
E.D. has a relaxed atmosphere and most employees are genuinely nice. No divas. Office politics is a rarity. Part of a larger, stable corporate parent that's fiscally conservative. Attitude towards time-off and work/life balance is modern and supportive. Senior management makes a real effort to keep people happy and informed. Lots of effort for recognizing special employee performance. The whole company makes a big deal out of Halloween: departments do themed decorations and costumes with contests and prizes. It's a lot of fun. High concentration of female management. Strong focus on philanthropy fundraisers like bake sales, pot lucks, raffles, etc. Many employees have 10 and 20 year history with company.
Minpunten
- Compensation is only so-so (but that's offset by some factors above). - High turnover for some areas like marketing. - Not enough innovation, too much "that's how we've always done it" - Limited advancement - It's the exception but a few incompetent managers have long tenures and still have jobs - Needlessly time-consuming performance review process: clumsy web interface, lots of steps, pointless goals and sub-goals w/back and forth between employee and manager
