Pros

Full of smart, young, talented people. Love the work and EAB's unique approach to research. As someone fairly early on in their career, I have opportunities to influence mission-driven executives of various education institutions.

Cons

Employees burn out very quickly, which explains the company's extremely high turnover rate. I have been at the firm for over 2 years, and almost everyone who I started with is gone. The company is growing programs quickly without staffing appropriately or giving workers the support they need. In sum, upper management seems to overwork and under appreciate mid-level and lower-level staff.

Pros

Had a history of supporting employee needs (e.g. hybrid)

Cons

- has become obsessed with in-office culture and "being present" (i.e., super limited full remote roles now), would not be surprised if the exec team submits a RTO mandate soon - compensation is under what you should receive, regardless of tenure or level. The amount of work far outpaces your salary. -because of the point above, burnout and a culture of irritability is omnipresent. - do NOT take the senior promotion, it just results in more work (you do multiple smaller projects in addition to your current workload and now lead trainings) and a small pay increase that does not even match inflation. - expectation that less senior staff have to interpret everything, big lack of clarity between need-to-have feedback and preference-edit feedback - instead of annual raises that match inflation, you get to spend full days quarterly with the team talking about topics that have nothing to do with your day-to-day - Management has become very clique-y, good luck moving into management if you're not already a part of the clique (or fully remote) - Unpaid overtime is expected but you will get shamed for not doing everything during the workday. - We currently work with the military and with the police as recruitment strategists so ICE will probably be next
