Pros

EAB has a really flexible work life balance as well as other great benefits. Many people work from home and do community service.

Cons

The pay is significantly lower than other companies in the area (the amount of PTO is the same as well). Some managers seem like they were forced to become managers and it is pretty clear as they don't give much thought or effort toward individuals within their team (career growth, 1-on-1 meetings, consistently working from home while being hard to contact and/or communicate with, etc.). They also place recent graduates in teams that need help over the new hire's preferences. Teams are very understaffed so there are always priority issues as there are always pushes for new ideas and features. Communication between departments are also not the best which may block work from being done.

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
