Pros

- EAB is full of smart people doing good work to improve education. - The research, technology, and service portfolio is some of the best serving the education industry. - If you come in at a low level, there are many paths to promotion. - Salary potential as you get beyond entry level improves dramatically. - If you're in a member facing role, you get to build strong relationships with educators and administrators across the country

Cons

- Executive level is full of entrenched (mostly healthcare) relics from the Advisory Board. - Said executives appear more interested in hiring their friends from health care for management roles than making efforts to bolster our education/edtech credentials - There is no room for new ideas/innovative thinking. If you can live within the EAB/ old Advisory Board culture, great. Don't expect things to ever be different. - There are pockets of people pushing diversity/inclusion efforts, but it is not reflected in leadership behavior (rewarding team members by taking them to their exclusive, mostly-white DC clubs. No intentional engagement by leadership in affinity groups or diversity/inclusion activities beyond speeches).
