Pros

Exposure to prestigious and high profile clients, as well as a range of clients through out a variety of industries. Flexible schedule. Creative work environment. Lots of opportunity to learn through the team and the different product frameworks.

Cons

No HR department or employees. The firm is small so upward mobility is not always possible. Management training and conflict resolution feels somewhat unstructured.

Pros

- You get to work with awesome clients on really interesting projects - This firm doesn't operate like a typical big PR firm; clients don't own 24/7 of your time, there are good boundaries for work/life balance. - MAJOR flexibility: company trusts people to get their work done and find a schedule that works for them. Unlike major firms, there's no bureaucracy/red tape to request time off. There's a good culture of people actually taking all of their PTO and no one is judged/penalized for it. - There are really good people working at the firm.

Cons

- It's a small firm, so it can make changes quickly to make everyone's life better, but there's limited time and staff. - The firm has made great advances on DEI (publishing salary bands, establishing a clear code of conduct, launching a pro-bono program to work with more communities in DC); but more durable changes (having leadership that is diverse and more POC in leadership) is taking time.

Pros

Our team is deeply committed to working for visionary, passionate organizations—and in being one ourselves. We bring the same thoughtful approach to our client work as well as our internal structures, processes, and actions. Over the past few years we have looked at who we are and how we work, and revised nearly every part of our operations to be more inclusive and equable. We have a delightfully quirky and tight-knit culture that is equally comfortable sharing psychological and linguistic theories as we are sharing playlists, favorite books, and viewing recommendations. Our work is uniquely insightful while also being clear and immediately applicable to our clients. It is unbelievably satisfying to see how it can transform how our clients see themselves and what they do, and make real impact on the issues we all face today.

Cons

We can take rigor and process to an extreme and overthink things. We are also growing and taking on new types of projects and that is not always as smooth as we might hope.
