Toxic Culture - Business Development Edison Partners Employee Review

Edison is revolutionizing the growth equity space and it’s exciting to be part of a team where my role truly feels like I’m making an impact daily. I’ve had the opportunity to learn from exceptionally knowledgeable partners, network with varying levels of leadership across our portfolio, and attend fun events like our annual meeting and CEO Summit. My voice feels heard and I’m excited to be in a role surrounded by people who care to help me grow. I’ll definitely be at Edison for the foreseeable future.

The workload gets pretty heavy during event seasons but that’s pretty typical to the marketing industry. Overall, no major cons to report.

Staff below partner level are friendly, helpful and want to just make the best of their situation.

All Partners are completely out of touch with the real world. They are so self-absorbed and entitled that they don't recognize how pompous their comments are when they attempt to act like they care about the lives of staff members below Partner. They don't actually care about the lives of staff members because when something real happens- like dealing with a major health issue during pregnancy, needing to switch to part-time to care for child's health issues, or the death of a parent- they disregard and verbally express their "disappointment" in that staff member needing time to go to doctors, manage family needs, or, at a bare minimum, grieve. They lack humility, empathy, kindness, compassion, or basic understanding of life experiences. They lack trust in the staff below Partner and do not give them the ability to work autonomously. Two of them, specifically, are such micromanagers, it's hard to see them having time to get their own work done with how much time they worry about the work of other people. The investment packages are a joke- requiring 10 years of employment before you're fully vested in their funds. Meanwhile, they'll show you the door if you express any criticism for how things are done, or provide guidance for how things can be improved. In summary, as a whole, they are toxic. Do yourself a favor and work anywhere else.
