Pros

All departments are full of likeable and enjoyable people. Team work is easy, and team mates are very helpful. Direct managers are friendly and easy to work with. Company also takes employee engagement seriously. There are plenty of fun events to partake in. PTO is very generous. I've been open to other job opportunities in the past, and whenever other companies send offers, I frequently turn them down due to insufficient PTO. EAB definitely does well in this category and provides a substantial amount.

Cons

Pay feels very underwhelming, especially for the work that I do. Our department has been told that we're a critical pillar of the company, but the pay doesn't reflect that. Admittedly, this feels exploitative, and it seems to allude to an issue with senior management. Senior leadership frequently lauds and praises its employees, but then fails to substantiate that praise in a meaningful way. Some employees were let go when COVID hit, but then a few months later, several multi-million dollar acquisitions of other companies were announced. This seems to be contrary to the spirit of generosity that the company lists as one of it's defining virtues. The company also doesn't shy away from politics. It's clear that the company (particularly upper management) is quite liberal, and that makes for an environment that feels unwelcoming to any dissenting viewpoints. This is ironic, considering the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion.

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
