Pros
–Amazing colleagues. Kind, values-driven, supportive and brilliant people. –Impressive client list: You get to work with a mix of foundations, social causes and large/influential companies/brands in service of social impact. –Access to leadership: The founder and CEO has done some incredible and inspiring work over the course of her career, and most anyone would have something valuable to learn from her. –High visibility: Small teams accomplishing big lifts, so you can expect to be exposed to high-level principals/clients. if you do really well, it will be noticed. –Pay and benefits are generous for a company their size. The founder and leadership team care about fair compensation and pay equity. The salaries offered are not big-corp salaries (duh), but higher than comps.
Cons
–I believe this was mentioned by another reviewer already, but this is a startup agency in high-growth mode and that comes with some challenges. Projects are often demanding with tight turnarounds/staffing/budgets. If you're cool with that, and you’re familiar with the ebbs and flows of startup culture, the rewards are plentiful — great projects, inspiring clients, fun and supportive colleagues. If you’re not, walk away. –No physical office: A “pro” for many people, but it was a “con” for me. –As with most small companies/employers, it can take a while to move up in title/role. There just aren't clear/established paths to promotion yet. That said, opportunities for growth do come in other ways.
