Pros

Fast-past environment requires you to learn things independently so you will develop new skills quickly; potential to travel to awesome places depending on your position/responsibilities. Benefits like health insurance and PTO are better than many other places

Cons

Absolutely terrible management. Management's protocol is to delegate all tasks to their subordinates so they can wipe their hands clean of having to do any actual work. Their mantra is "just get it done" and will not listen to you alerting them of any issues that arise impeding projects which leads to disasters. Crazy high turnover. Depending on the association/department you work for it is not unusual to see all your coworkers departing for new jobs. Compensation ridiculously low.

Pros

EDI employs staff to work directly with medical/research non-profits, giving employees the incredible opportunity to help its clients realize their vision. Culture is very supportive - EDI supports professional development and membership in related organizations for its employees to help them continually grow and say on top of trends. They provide pathways for staff to be promoted and grow within the company. They offer a variety of opportunities from meetings logistics to committee management to meeting planning to medical writing and more. I've worked there for over 15 years and have had an incredible experience with the company as well as with the volunteers we serve.

Cons

No cons currently. Over the last 15+ years that I've been here, EDI has worked hard to support employees and respond to suggestions for improvement. For example, most positions are able to work remotely up to 3 days a week. EDI is also continuously updating technologies and systems to allow staff to efficiently do their work.

Pros

some work travel… but not many pros worth listing

Cons

the person who wrote the review below… only one person there has that title… and 100% they were asked to write this review by leaders….their listed pros are only given to favorites likes. The company pays horribly, is a revolving door of staff, promotes favorites like the person who wrote the review. So many people leave and the company won’t change. The company could be amazing if they stopped being so old school and treated their staff like people. technology is old, can’t be 100% remote and you get managed by so many fake ppl who make way to much money for the little work they do
