EAI has NEVER HAD LAYOFFS from its beginnings in 2001. We have carried our folks through multiple tough economic cycles (2002, 2008/2009, current post-pandemic/economic situation) and will continue to do so!
We are growing and looking for individuals who want to be part of a fun, passionate, and highly accomplished team. The EAi Family bonds over social/team interactions with Hackathons and regular events like Poker and Movie Night to keep the spirits alive. Combine that with daily catered lunches from restaurants such as Cava, Chipotle, Plaka, Passion Fin, and Shake Shack, and you can see that we strive to foster a family-friendly culture that emphasizes teamwork, camaraderie, and openness.
