Amazing People! Terrible Pay!

Pros

- Great coworkers - everyone is very hardworking, passionate, friendly, and helpful - Benefits - DEI initiatives, culture, values

Cons

- Unlivable wages. For a company that requires many people to come into the DC/RVA offices, the pay is laughable. Many colleagues of mine are spending almost 50% of their monthly income on rent. Oh also-there's no such thing as a 'signing bonus' or any type of bonus for that matter here. What you see is what you get until you're up for review. No hand-outs. - Hard to maintain a work-life balance when you are poor and work over 40 hours a week - Burnout - Lack of upward mobility

Disappointing and headed downhill

Pros

Great people (colleagues and peers) It’s a good entry level gig for folks early in their career Ability to move around in the company if a different role catches your interest Great medical/dental benefits

Cons

EAB was an amazing place to work…. Until it wasn’t. Employees are overloaded, burnt out, and severely underpaid. Racism and homophobia run rampant despite the company boasting its robust DEI program. You’re “empowered” to speak up and make sound business decisions, but are blatantly ignored when you actually do - or worse, management takes your ideas and passes it off as their own. Speaking of management, I’m convinced that some of the newer managers were hired solely as puppets or scapegoats - the incompetence has been absolutely mind-blowing. Sales and strategic leaders promise partners unrealistic project timelines or even products the company doesn’t even offer for the sake of a signed contract, then throw the functional teams under the bus when they aren’t able to deliver. Turnover is incredibly high and backfills are extremely slow to be hired, creating a lot of resourcing and capacity issues.

Pros

Very smart co-workers, decent mid-level management, and lots of PTO

Cons

Where to even begin. Pay significantly under the market rate and benefits are no where near as good as they paint them to be. Senior leadership in the research department refuse to acknowledge employee concerns like retention and pay, even when droves of talented employees are leaving. While the research department re-orgs approximately every 6 months and burns people out from change fatigue, they refuse to re-evaluate the way they do work or upgrade the technology they use to help folks work more efficiently. HR is not there for employees. They "refuse" to negotiate salaries yet, I do know a select few employees (all men) that they negotiated with and gave discretionary raises and bonuses to. They also don't take complaints of discrimination seriously. The company claims to care about DEI but upper management and executive leadership is overwhelmingly white. They are all talk and no action.
