EAB reviews

- Pay is dismal. A solid 25% lower than market value for same position in area. Review salary in Glassdoor to get an idea. - There is no real method to their promotions. People were promoted multiple times in a year/two year period when others weren't given the chance or were told BS reasons why they weren't. - If you are friends with leadership, you'll get promoted with no reason other than you are friends. - Creatives are treated like bottom of the barrel employees. They are told they are experts...and then dismissed for voicing opinions. They are there to do what the strategic leader or account executive says because no one wants to push back on the client. - Upper management is clueless and has NO idea how much work creatives actually have. They constantly sign up new clients, demand unrealistic deadlines and then when the creatives produce, they hate everything they see. Then the account executives get the heat, which they blame on creatives. - Clients are unhappy with work because creatives have to work so fast so quality of work suffers. - Creatives are burnt out and leadership acts like they listen, but nothing changes. - Toxic environment with lots of gossip, throwing under the bus and back stabbing. - Extremely HIGH turn over and attrition. - Little to NO diversity. Especially with client facing positions.

- 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).
