Edmunds Named a Best Place to Work in Los Angeles for Eighth Consecutive Year
SANTA MONICA, CA — August 07, 2017 — The Los Angeles Business Journal today honored Edmunds, the leading car information and shopping platform, as one of the Best Places to Work in Los Angeles. The Santa Monica-based company officially placed 14th in the large company category (250+ employees), and the honor marks the eighth year in a row that Edmunds has been recognized by LABJ as a top workplace in Southern California.
"The best investment that Edmunds has ever made — and continues to make — is in our people," said Avi Steinlauf, Edmunds CEO. "This award is a testament to our team's commitment to creating a work environment that fosters collaboration, innovation and employee well-being. We are excited to continue to push the envelope in developing an exceptional work culture as Los Angeles' burgeoning tech and startup scene continues to flourish."
Edmunds functions as a Results-Only Work Environment, where employees are given the freedom to set their own hours and take the time off they need as long as they deliver results for the company.
Other unique benefits at Edmunds include extended parental leave; TripCa$h, which reimburses each employee up to $500 in vacation expenses; robust personal and professional development programs; and internal recognition programs such as Bonusly, a program that empowers employees to recognize one another's work and accomplishments with spot bonuses.
Edmunds recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of the opening of its corporate offices in Santa Monica, an award-winning 143,000-square-foot space located two miles from the beach. Employees enjoy amenities including free breakfasts and lunches, a frozen yogurt bar, a game room, on-site yoga and meditation, and bright, colorful, open workspaces and informal meeting places that encourage collaboration.
