growth opportunities as an analyst, learning R, visualization - Research Analyst II Education Analytics Employee Review

Really great colleagues at EA! The work is interesting.

The work-life balance was a struggle.

- interesting research and thoughtful, friendly colleagues who care deeply about the education field - good place to start a career in analytics if you have no experience - genuine emphasis on advancing equity in the field and within the organization - opportunities for individual growth if you seek them out - casual and flexible work environment with good benefits

- culture of overwork, borderline toxic at times, particularly for early career staff - extremely low pay (even for the nonprofit sector). huge disparity between the quality and volume of work expected and the pay received - while the overall work culture is mostly positive, the company can be insular and it can feel taboo to openly mention issues in the workplace, namely regarding the low pay and chronic understaffing. It's like an open secret - everyone knows it's an issue, and no one wants to address it. - Not many reasons to stay with the company long term due to aforementioned issues, resulting in high turnover
