Pros

The culture and the people are amazing. Everyone is helpful, there are endless career pathing opportunities and ways to develop your career, especially if you are someone coming into the firm as an early professional. Hybrid remote and in-office work, flexible schedules, generous benefits

Cons

EAB consistently pays under market value. The culture and the benefits are great, but at the end of the day we lose a lot of talent because we do not pay anywhere near what we should for nearly all entry-level to director-level candidates. There is also no room for salary negotiation and no culture of asking for raises or bonuses. People who try get shut down and when someone presents an offer they received elsewhere but want to stay, EAB will not match it or even try to. They take turnover due to comp as an “opportunity to bring in new and excellent talent”

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
