"As one of the founding tech companies on Silicon Beach, Edmunds is used to leading the way, and we've continued this tradition by taking a fresh and innovative approach to our new offices," said Edmunds.com Chief Executive Officer Avi Steinlauf. "With cutting-edge designs, immaculate indoor/outdoor spaces, and amenities that you're more likely to find at a luxury resort, we're excited to offer our employees and guests a comfortable environment where they can work, create, think and play."

The new office space is the latest example of Edmunds' commitment to the happiness and well-being of its staff of over 700 employees. The company operates a Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) which gives all employees the freedom to set their own hours and take the time off they need, as long as they deliver results for the company. Other perks provided to Edmunds' staff include TripCa$h, which reimburses each employee up to $500 in vacation expenses, and Bonusly, a program that empowers employees to recognize each other's work and accomplishments with small spot bonuses.
