Great company, smart people, growing fast.

Pros

Wednesday breakfasts, Friday cookies, team outings, company outings, bright coworkers, opportunities to learn, casual culture, 6 month release cycle.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly. Because of this, many projects/problems overlap across teams and I have seen competition between teams to solve problems rather than cooperation amongst them. The only other (minor) negative is location.

Pros

Very friendly , employee loving company. People believe in doing the right thing - even if it is time consuming. Good work life balance. Training is very much part of work - and learning is encouraged.

Cons

For just a software developer - the pay seems to be a little lower than below average - but I guess the other perks like bonuses, profit sharing - would make up for that. Sometimes can be very relaxed ...

Too much micromanagement in EDG

Applications support engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Modern workplace, nice facilities including gym and offices. Free breakfast on Wednesdays.

Cons

Poor management at EDG. The managers tend to micromanage people and create a kindergarten like atmosphere. EDG is a ruse for them to get Technical support done by highly qualified people and their values have diverged from the company's core values. Work/life balance is screwed up since you have to frequently have to work 12hr days and the hard work you would put in is not appreciated but rather seen as standard expectations. None of the managers have technical skills so they frequently try to evade questions by asking the same questions back to people. "What do you think" is the most commonly used phrase here and there is never any logical explanation for anything.
