Pros

You can get your feet wet in management consulting. Learn how to operate on your survival instincts in a corporate setting.

Cons

In my experience, this place was racist. At the top and at the bottom. Racist in the “well meaning” way. People will throw rocks and hide their hand. It’s an unhealthy environment for most that’s extra harmful for anyone that’s not white.

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

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.
