Pros

- PTO policy is great, 20+ days/year - Healthy life hours, 10+ hours/month for health - Friendly and accepting work environment - Flexible hours

Cons

- For implementation teams at EAB, their metric system is done terribly. Performance is measured based on arbitrary project deadlines, as opposed to client impact. Most performance metrics are out of employees control, leading to inaccurate evaluations of the most hard working employees. - Pay is very low compared to industry standards. There is zero room for pay negotiation, and management will string you along for months before letting you know that raises won’t be given. - Extra work will not be rewarded, unless it falls under the pre-defined metrics management has laid out at the beginning of the fiscal year. - High turnover due to issues mentioned above.

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
