Pros

They are very supportive of professional development

Cons

They are in-flexible with schedules. If you work a 50 hour week and have a 3 hour doctors appointment, it is their policy that you need to use PTO for that, even as a salaried employee. If you work all day Saturday, you do not get to flex time as it was "your choice" to do so. They put volunteer leadership well-being above staff well-being. And one day I was told that I could not even be five minutes late for work because if there was a fire at 8am they would tell firefighters to go in and save me because I was supposed to be there, but was not. But then the expectation of leaving on time is not the same...so I guess too bad if there's a fire after 4:30pm?

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.
