In what ways has EDB supported your wellbeing as an employee?

There are so many! I feel incredibly lucky to work for an employer who grants one Friday off each month as a “Wellness Day.” These days are a great opportunity for us all to sign off and refresh.

EDB also offers employees several platforms for growth and development, including LinkedIn Learning, where we can access a multitude of trainings for our personal and professional development. Also, “Modern Health,” which offers one-to-one coaching and/or therapy, plus mindfulness and stress relieving exercises.

Finally, EDB operates remotely, but with the option of attending an office if you wish. I love this flexible approach to work. It means I can go out for a walk or run every single day, and being able to prioritize my exercise alongside my work is invaluable to me to ensure I perform at my best.

Thank you EDB!

In what ways has EDB supported your wellbeing as an employee?

I have been working with EDB for 7+ years and I find the work environment open, flexible, positive, enriching and supportive. I feel appreciated and motivated to keep growing and improving.

All the managers I have worked under have been understanding and accommodating when I needed some leniency because of my health—hospitalization, maternity leave, etc. 

Everyone here is easily approachable and all your issues get addressed very efficiently.

Wellness Fridays are a major benefit as they give me more time with family and help me work on my hobbies.

Title: Golang Engineer

Location: Antibes, France

In what ways has EDB supported your wellbeing as an employee? 

I'm quite new to EDB, and the interview process was the first time in my career that I felt truly comfortable during interviews.The team was open minded, kind and took their time to explain everything to me and check how I felt after each. The process was also quick, and I was aware of every step and decision. I felt legitimate and recognized for my knowledge. 

I have now been with EDB for one month—and I recently had a call with my HR business partner to talk about my first month, and receive feedback from the hiring process and how I was embedded in the company. It was nice and very new to me to have HR take the time to hear my thoughts and make an effort to make my transition to EDB as seamless as possible.

Title: Field Marketing Manager

Location: NA Team / Rhode Island 

In what ways has EDB supported your wellbeing as an employee? 

There's such a positive emphasis on time management that it’s created a natural work-life balance for me. Having the space to step away, and being encouraged by my team to do so, has set the standard for the workplace culture I'll accept, and also for the quality of my work.

EDB has been an incredible driving force in my career growth and professional development.  Since the day I started at EDB, I have been actively supported by senior leaders who have given me challenging opportunities, which have allowed me to accelerate my professional growth and flourish in an extremely collaborative and "all-in" supportive culture.

It's been extremely exciting and I am honored to be a part of such an amazing company!
