Pros
Mindshare PR works with exciting clients who are doing great things in the cloud, B2B and tech world. The principal has a vast amount of experience and connections in this space. There are great opportunities given to learn and grow your career, but you must be self-driven. Employees are expected to work hard and are rewarded with many perks beyond the standard (health care, retirement plan, vacation). Some of these perks include monthly work from home Fridays, lunches or activities, free food, bring your dog to work, floating holidays, travel bonuses and free exercise passes. I am grateful to be given the opportunity to grow in a flexible context that works best for me. The location is great in downtown Los Altos with many shops and restaurants.
Cons
This is not a con to me, as I appreciate independence and freedom in a work place. However, potential employees should know that you will not be patted on the head and congratulated for every task you complete. Thoroughness and high quality is expected. Upper management is always available for questions and feedback.
