Pros
The people - friendly, fun, smart, good at their job and most importantly for those junior in the world of PR - excellent guidance and teaching. I’ve worked at other PR companies that have the stereotypical "mean PR"/fend for yourself vibe and Mercieca isn’t that at all.
Relaxed workplace culture
Great clients
Lasting impression - Mercieca was my first proper job in London and I still remember my time there with warm fuzzy feelings. From Paul the owner, to Gemma the senior director to Frankie and Anna working on clients day to day - all of them were wonderful to me.
NB - Glassdoor wouldn’t let me add a year of employment before 2020, but I worked for Mercieca on and off between 2007 and 2010
Cons
The only con is that I was silly enough to not accept a full time position because I thought I should finish university. I genuinely have this of one of my life regrets!!
