Pros

Good place for growing your research/marketing experience. Healthy mix of young professionals just starting their careers and more tenured folks who have been at the firm for years. Teams are either remote or have a hybrid in office/WFH model depending on their responsibilities. Good PTO policy as well.

Cons

EAB is hemorrhaging smart, hardworking, and talented employees because the firm refuses to raise salaries and pay competitive wages. Employees are saddled with more and more responsibilities and receive no benefits in return. Unfortunately, it seems EAB is more focused on expanding and acquiring new companies than taking care of the employees it already has. While the company itself has grown and flourished over the past few years, upper management has refused to address the issues surrounding low salaries, despite many pleas from workers to do so. If EAB would revisit their values and commit to paying market value for the roles they employ, I truly think they would be one of the best companies to work for in Virginia. Until then, they will have to continue to deal with the mass exodus of good employees and struggle with understaffed teams as a result.

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
