Pros

The people at Eli Kirk are some of the best people you'll ever meet. They have a good heart, they're smart, and they work hard. It's a fairly young and fun environment. Management makes a fair effort at keeping employees happy by providing activities and events.

Cons

The partners are very disconnected from the day-to-day activities and realities that the teams face. There is a general lack of management (most employees report directly to one of the partners) and the constant absence of the partners who are often out doing business development activities makes it a bit of a free for all. There is often a lack of awareness of the workload and they are often far behind the curve on hiring. That makes it for long days, stressed employees, and unhappy clients. Lastly, a number of clients are personal friends of the partners, creating a lot of issues resulting from the blurry line between personal and professional.

Pros

EKR makes your well-being a priority and are very willing to help make your work enjoyable. They will compensate you if you work overtime for a consecutive number of weeks.

Cons

There is a lot of turnover because they hire people fairly new to the industry that are hoping to move up quicker than they can at EKR.

Pros

Really the only pro is that people are nice. I loved my team and all my interactions with them.

Cons

Prepare to work in the wild west. No one really knows what it going on and there are no standards or guidelines. Really the only goal there is to turn projects around quick so we get paid. No passion. No true appreciation and definitely overworked. I was told that EKR really cares about their employees career progression but I really felt the exact opposite. I worked for a couple months trying to get a title change and compensation to match it. I really did work hard and my manager told me multiple times that I deserved it. Every week that passed I was just told to be patient. I ended up leaving because I truly felt taken advantage of.
