Pros
The people are friendly, welcoming, warm, caring and fun. It's a younger group of people, with many employees directly out of college. People make fast friends, and the overall feeling of the company is one that is open and flexible. There are several benefits such as hours for personal time (separate from PTO), good insurance, covers domestic partners, high focus on volunteering and taking fitness/ mental health time. Parents are able to be flexible with their time to account for their children, and working from home days are flexible. Fantastic PTO policy. Amazing social opportunities such as happy hours, and great networking events. Good work life balance for the most part!
Cons
While the benefits are great, you may be hard pressed to use the time off. The teams are stressed and under a lot of pressure to deliver in ridiculously short time frames. Clients are top of the mind, and every decision is to keep them happy, even at the detriment to the employees. Pretty young women are hired to be client facing, while diversity hires or any "middle of the pack" individuals are left out of the client communication streams. There are no clear actionable steps to being promoted. There is almost 0 insight into promotion structure even if you ask what you can be doing to be better or be promoted. This goes across the company in all groups and positions. This has been brought up to HR and management several times, with absolutely no insight into a change in process. That is hard enough, but it is common for 1 or 2 people within a group to be "groomed" for promotions- they will even go out of their way to create new positions for them. It is incredible clear to everyone else doing the work that these people are being favored, and it reduces morale. Pay- It's known that EAB pays well below local and national averages. There are some benefits that can make up for this, but there are no bonuses, no performance sharing plans, and you can only get a raise once a year. That may be 3%, depending on how you perform, but not guaranteed and definitely not something to be counted on. The company re-vamped the process when they were bought by Vista, and not for the better. They do a little as possible to pay people fairly. Many employees are leaving for this reason. People are being asked to work overtime with no pay, and very little to make it worth their while. They said they were looking into the pay structure, but ended up making 0 changes.
