Pros

Middle management has been very on point. Workers have historically been very knowledgeable, though I can't vouch for that going forward as turnover has been massive over the last year and a half.

Cons

Pay has to be in lower 10-20% range, C level management has disappointing and ineffectual outlook on employee salaries and retention. Look forward to hearing about one acquisition every few months while your benefits and pay get slashed every year in a market with nearly 9% inflation. Highest pay raise in 2022 the company offers is half of inflation rate, no raises in 2021. My office had a roughly 60% analyst turnover rate over the last year. Company feels you deserve insultingly low wages because you have the privilege of working with higher ed institutions.

Great people, terrible pay

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.
